Arya Charitable Trust (ACT) is an NGO working to spread awareness in remote areas about the most commonly occurring diseases in children. Launched on 22 January, 2010 in memory of master Arya, ACT was formed by Vishal Barbate as president together with Nagpur’s renowned paediatrician Dr. Satish Deopujari as chief advisor.
After its formation, ACT began with probably one of the most singular programmes ever undertaken in the country by any organisation: launch of its awareness campaign in Vidarbha's small villages through the medium of Street Plays in which the village children themselves were chosen as actors and consequently became effective bearers of health message to villagers. The campaign was conducted vigorously in small villages because the mortality rate is high in rural areas. Now in its next phase, ACT is taking up the fight against metabolic and genetic disorders in children. For this cause, two prominent doctors have joined hands: Dr. Anil B. Jalan, a recognised specialist in metabolic disorders from Mumbai and Dr. D. K. Chopade, a renowned specialist in genetic diseases from Nashik.
While conducting this campaign the ACT organisers realised that there is virtually no awareness in villages about children's metabolic disorders and genetic diseases. But merely spreading awareness about these diseases would not have sufficed. So, ACT has tied up with two noted paediatrician-specialists, Dr. Anil B. Jalan of Mumbai and Dr. D.K. Chopade of Nashik, so it can provide support and counselling services to patients and their parents in Nagpur and surrounding areas. It will also help parents form support groups and find resources for treatments. Most importantly, however, it will educate parents about how to prevent recurrence of genetic and metabolic disorders in the second child through prenatal treatment available in the country. Both Dr. Anil Jalan and Dr. D. K. Chopade will now visit Nagpur to counsel patients and their parents free of cost.
Parents, families and people who wish to consult either Dr. Anil B. Jalan or Dr. D. K. Chopade about their children’s conditions are urged to fill in and submit the Query Form under the link Contact Us.
