Hogi Bai’s story is a reminder that recovery is supported not only by timely treatment, but also by nutrition, family support, and continued care. After being diagnosed with TB at the Bedawal AMRIT Clinic, she began treatment and received nutritional support through Amrit Aahaar, along with regular counselling and home visits by the health worker. Step by step, she began regaining her strength.

Through The Friends of Mewar, efforts like these focus on taking healthcare, nutrition, and support closer to communities that need it most.

Because every person deserves access to the right care, at the right time.

Advancing Type 1 Diabetes research requires collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to better care.

The inaugural Breakthrough T1D Clinical & Research Congress 2026 brought together researchers, healthcare professionals, and the T1D community to exchange ideas and explore advances in treatment and care.
At The Friends of Mewar, we believe that raising health awareness and supporting community well-being are essential to building a healthier future.

Join us in raising awareness and advancing the fight against T1D.

Health is not only about treatment; it is also about awareness, nutrition, understanding, and support.

At AMRIT Clinics, the monthly Swasthya Diwas creates a space for people affected by tuberculosis to share experiences, receive counselling, learn about nutrition, and address myths and stigma surrounding TB.

Amrit Aahaar supports patients during their recovery by providing simple, locally familiar ingredients that are easy to prepare and incorporate into daily meals. Patients and their families are also guided on how to use these ingredients and make informed choices about nutrition during recovery.

This approach recognises nutrition as an important part of the recovery journey, alongside timely treatment, counselling, and continued community support.

Joining hands with people who are truly dedicated to meaningful work is deeply inspiring to me. I have long admired Lakshmi’s tireless commitment, passion, and unwavering dedication to creating real impact.
His work is a constant reminder to strive to be better—to give more, do more, and bring my very best to everything I undertake. I am grateful for the inspiration he brings through both his example and his spirit.
A heartfelt thank you, Lakshmi, for helping me become the best version of myself.

जो लोग पूरी निष्ठा और समर्पण के साथ सार्थक कार्यों के लिए अपना जीवन समर्पित करते हैं, उनके साथ जुड़ना मेरे लिए हमेशा प्रेरणादायक रहा है। लक्ष्मी की निरंतर मेहनत, जुनून और समाज में वास्तविक बदलाव लाने के प्रति उनका अटूट समर्पण लंबे समय से मेरे लिए प्रेरणा का स्रोत रहा है।

उनका कार्य मुझे हमेशा बेहतर बनने, अधिक देने, अधिक करने और अपने हर प्रयास में अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ देने की याद दिलाता है। उनके उदाहरण और उनके व्यक्तित्व से मिलने वाली प्रेरणा के लिए मैं हृदय से आभारी हूँ।

लक्ष्मी, मुझे स्वयं का एक बेहतर रूप बनने के लिए प्रेरित करने के लिए आपका हृदय से धन्यवाद।

The visit included engagement with healthcare teams and community members, offering valuable perspectives on the realities of Type 1 Diabetes and the importance of awareness, access, and continued support at the local level.

The Nagaur visit added an important community perspective to the ongoing conversations around Type 1 Diabetes and the need for stronger, more accessible support systems.

The Udaipur Type 1 Diabetes Summit began with an engaging Fireside Chat that set the tone for meaningful dialogue and collaboration. The conversation moved beyond Type 1 Diabetes alone to explore the wider public-health ecosystem in India—its realities, challenges, opportunities, and the collective belief needed to create lasting change. By understanding the broader healthcare landscape, the session encouraged all participants to strengthen and direct their support for people living with Type 1 Diabetes more effectively. It highlighted the importance of collaboration, informed advocacy, empathy, and practical action in building a more responsive and inclusive care ecosystem.

The first day also included expert exchanges and media interactions, laying a strong foundation for three days of learning, dialogue, and collective commitment towards advancing access, equity, and action in Type 1 Diabetes care.
