• During my time with Ek Pehel Anant Tak Foundation, I actively participated in organizing and executing community healthcare campaigns aimed at improving awareness and access to basic health services. My role primarily involved planning and supporting outreach programs that targeted underserved populations, focusing on preventive healthcare and health education.

These campaigns often took place in rural and low-income urban areas where healthcare resources are limited.
