Sri Aurobindo Group Plans Child Care Centres Across Madhya Pradesh
The Sri Aurobindo Group wants to open special centres for children who need extra developmental or neurological care.
These centres would be built in different districts of Madhya Pradesh.
The goal is to make advanced healthcare available outside major cities.
The centres will follow the model of Maatri Sparsh - Usha Divya Bal Mandir and Kemhans.
These institutions use medical technology and different kinds of specialists to support children.
Doctors say coordinated care can help children and their families.
The plan was announced by Dr Vinod Bhandari in Indore.
The announcement took place during a meeting about children’s mental health and neurology.
The group also plans to introduce Kemhans franchises across the state.
