Dr. Anjali Nimabalkar’s work in Gurlagunji Gram Panchayat has been nothing short of a revolution. Her efforts have transformed the lives of the people of this small village. Dr. Nimabalkar’s work has focused on improving healthcare, education, and sanitation facilities in the village. She has been instrumental in setting up a mobile medical van, a school, and toilets in every household in the village. Dr. Nimabalkar’s approach, which emphasizes community participation, has become a model for rural development in India.

Dr. Nimabalkar’s work in Gurlagunji has been a game-changer in the area of healthcare. Before her intervention, the villagers had no access to basic healthcare facilities. They had to travel long distances to reach the nearest hospital, which was often too late. Dr. Nimabalkar set up a mobile medical van that visits the village regularly. The van is equipped with all the necessary medical equipment and staffed with trained medical personnel who provide free medical check-ups and treatment to the villagers. This has significantly improved the health of the residents of Gurlagunji.

Dr. Nimabalkar’s work in education has also brought about a significant change in the lives of the people of Gurlagunji. Before her intervention, there was no school in the village, and children had to travel to neighboring villages to attend school. Dr. Nimabalkar worked tirelessly to set up a school in the village, which now provides education to children up to the 8th grade. The school has become a center for adult education, where people of all ages can learn basic literacy and numeracy skills.

Dr. Nimabalkar’s efforts in sanitation have also been commendable. Before her intervention, the village had no proper toilets, and people defecated in the open, leading to the spread of diseases. Dr. Nimabalkar initiated a campaign to build toilets in every household in the village. She also conducted workshops to educate people on the importance of proper sanitation practices. Today, Gurlagunji is an open defecation-free village, and the residents have access to clean and hygienic sanitation facilities.
