Education:
28 educational campuses, a University in South India through the Sri Sathya Sai Loka Seva Gurukulam Group of Educational Institutions, and two institutions abroad (Nigeria and Australia) are providing free values-based education to nearly 4,500 boys and girls. To ensure accessibility and inclusivity, the institution also supports primary education of over 5,400 children from Government schools through the Bharath Rashtra Nirman Vidyaarthi Nidhi, a unique initiative of Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai.
At Sathya Sai Grama in Muddenahalli in Karnataka, near Bengaluru airport (South India), which is also the epicentre for all the global service activities, a totally free 360-bedded multi-specialty hospital treats over 1,200 patients everyday, and is also the teaching hospital for India’s first free medical college – the Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research – which was inaugurated by the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi on 25 March 2023.
Guided by the vision – IN THE RURAL, OF THE RURAL, FOR THE RURAL- this first-of-its kind medical college shall nurture medical doctors with ability, nobility, and stability who shall dedicate themselves to serve the underserved, particularly in rural India, where their need is the most.
Healthcare:
Today, twelve speciality hospitals in India (five paediatric cardiac, and five mother and child hospitals, and two multi-speciality hospitals) and three hospitals abroad (Fiji, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and a medical centre in USA) are providing free healthcare. Over 30,000 free paediatric cardiac surgeries have been done successfully through the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals.
