VT Seva supports healthcare
VT Seva is dedicated to supporting healthcare initiatives. From mental health services and cancer awareness walkathons to informative sessions in the USA, VT Seva's India branch, Vikas Tarangini, organizes numerous workshops focused on women's health under Mahila Arogya Vikas program. This initiative aims for early detection of cervical cancer, offers assistance for diagnosed cases requiring further medical or surgical intervention, and conducts awareness and education programs to help women recognize signs and symptoms of various cancers.
Additionally, under the Arogya Vikas banner, camps are organized for Pediatrics, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Cardiology, and Dentistry.
Moreover, the India wing also offers Ayurvedic healthcare services.

Cancer Awareness and Prevention
One in every family is affected by cancer. Sadly India has the highest number of patients in critical stages of breast and cervical cancer. VT Seva believes that “if a woman is healthy, the home is safe, and society thrives.” With this vision, they launched the Women Health Care Project – Mahila Arogya Vikas in 2007.
Since then, over 1,200 free camps have been held, providing more than 250,000 VIA cancer tests, 6,379 biopsies, and 219 breast surgeries, raising awareness among over 1.2 million women.
VT Seva discreetly offers services to the community, intentionally avoiding the term ‘cancer’ to prevent fear among locals. Mahila Arogya Vikas conducts camps in remote villages across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra, giving many women a second chance at life. Each camp screens 150 to 170 women, and free medications are provided for their treatment.
