Every Monday, the Aarohi team begins the day with a collective cleanliness drive, where we work together to clean our office campus and the surrounding areas. This activity is not only about maintaining cleanliness, but also about strengthening teamwork, responsibility, and sensitivity towards our environment.
After the cleanliness drive, our weekly meeting begins with a prayer. Each week, different prayers are shared by the Aarohi team, creating a sense of positivity, focus, and togetherness.
These small yet meaningful practices help build discipline, cooperation, mutual respect, and a positive work culture within the team, further strengthening Aarohi’s community values.

पौड़ी गढ़वाल के धुमाकोट क्षेत्र में संस्थागत कार्यक्रम के दौरान क्षेत्र भ्रमण किया गया, जिसमें संस्था के अधिशासी निदेशक डॉ. पंकज तिवारी एवं NRM टीम लीडर डॉ. नारायण सिंह द्वारा हालिया विज़िट किया गया।

इस दौरान यह सामने आया कि पलायन के कारण अधिकांश कृषि भूमि धीरे-धीरे बंजर होती जा रही है और कई खेत अब उपयोग में नहीं हैं।
इस पर विस्तृत चर्चा की गई, जहां संभावित कारणों जैसे सोच में बदलाव, खेती से दूरी, इच्छा शक्ति में कमी एवं नीतिगत चुनौतियों पर विचार किया गया।

साथ ही, अधिशासी महोदय द्वारा कुछ नीतिगत पहलुओं पर सुझाव दिए गए, जिनमें आवश्यक बदलाव कर पुनः कृषि क्षेत्र को आजीविका का सशक्त स्रोत बनाया जा सकता है।

हमारा प्रयास है कि इन जमीनों को फिर से जीवंत किया जाए तथा स्थानीय समुदाय के साथ मिलकर खेती के प्रति रुचि को बढ़ावा देते हुए एक स्थायी समाधान की दिशा में कदम बढ़ाए जाएं ।

Hospital kitni door hai?”
(How far is the nearest hospital?)
In the hills of Kumaon, this question carries weight. It shapes when people seek care — or whether they can at all.
Since 2014, Aarohi’s Mobile Medical Unit has been travelling across Nainital, Almora, and Champawat — reaching over 70,000 people across 130 villages, and conducting more than 1,100 camps so far.
Inside a single moving clinic: a doctor, diagnostics, medicines — even ultrasound services. Nearly 2,000 screenings each year, bringing essential maternal care closer to home.
For many, this means fewer long journeys, timely treatment, and one less barrier between need and care.

Aarohi celebrated World Health Day on 7th April at Government Inter College, Ratir Keti, Kapkot (Bageshwar) with great enthusiasm and a strong commitment to community well-being. Aligned with the 2026 theme “Together for Health: Stand with Science,” a free blood testing camp was organized, and children’s height and weight were measured to assess their BMI. This initiative helped in understanding their nutritional status and highlighted the importance of scientific approaches in building healthier lives.

The celebration also featured a health-themed poster-making competition, where students expressed their ideas with creativity and awareness. Aarohi’s team demonstrated proper handwashing techniques, reinforcing the role of simple, science-based practices in disease prevention. Through these impactful activities, Aarohi continues to empower remote communities with knowledge, care, and the belief that informed action and collective effort can lead to a healthier, stronger future for all.
