Our Story
169 deaths of tribal children due to malnutrition in the Mokhada block of the then Thane district initiated the formation of a field action project of the college of social work, Nirmala Niketan in 2006 thus AROEHAN was born.
From a field action project in 2006, AROEHAN transformed into a registered non-profit organization in the year 2015.
In the last decade, AROEHAN has increased its footprint across Mokhada, Jawhar, Palghar, and Dahanu blocks of Palghar district and established credibility in the area especially for its work in water conservation, health and nutrition, solar based irrigation and for introducing farmers to second cropping during the rabi season for growing vegetables and engaging in floriculture.
