When one thinks of rural India, One might picture farmers toiling away on green pastures, children playing hopscotch on a small school ground, or women carrying pots of water atop their heads in a straight line. Although these people live much simpler lives than ours, these lives are often short. According to data from 2015-2019, on average, rural Indians live for 68.3 years, compared to urban who live up to 73. That is a wide gap of 4.7 years. And remember, this is just an average.

Indian Taxpayers ITA’s definition of a health camp or medical camp is to screen all patients in a village, dispense health-related information, distribute medicine for common ailments, and additionally refer individuals to get surgery or treatment at hospitals for serious conditions.
We Indian Taxpayers Association, are a proud NGO in Maharastra that rises up to challenges faced by the communities that we serve and offers a helping hand. We just conducted a free medical camp at Bhandewadi in January of this year by partnering with medical professionals from the nearby Hospital, with humble volunteers helping the disabled and elderly to access the camp services.
