A journey of compassion, commitment and community healthcare transformation
Sawangin Gram Vikas Sanstha (SGVS) was established with a singular purpose — to bring quality healthcare to the doorsteps of those who need it most. Based in Khunti district of Jharkhand, SGVS has been at the forefront of rural eye care transformation, serving communities that have long been underserved by the healthcare system.
Our flagship initiative, SGVS Hospital and Research Centre, stands as a beacon of hope for thousands of rural families who previously had no access to specialized eye care services. Through a combination of hospital-based treatments and community outreach programs, we have created a comprehensive eye care ecosystem that reaches from our state-of-the-art facility in Khunti to the remotest villages of Jharkhand.
