Preventive and Curative measures are included in our Health Care programs focused to serve mainly rural population. Under preventive care, we provide safe drinking water in rural areas and educated people on the importance of nutritious food. As a curative measure, we provide assistance for individual medical treatment in deserving cases and to groups through medical camps and direct assistance to establish hospitals.

Financial support for establishment of Eye Hospital and safe drinking water in rural areas are some of the other initiatives taken up.

Apart from agriculture and allied activities, alternative livelihood sources in rural areas are negligible. To help educated rural youth, SRCT is running computer training centres, trainings in spoken and written English, trainings in tailoring for house wives, etc. We have conducted vocational courses in Junior College to help candidates who complete Grade 12 to acquire employment skills.
