The Sahay program is an extension of the Sanjeevani food aid initiative, initially implemented during the lockdown to prevent starvation among vulnerable populations.

Sanjeevani provided over 5 lac meals at the time of its closure. However, there remained a need for aid for elderly, abandoned, and helpless individuals post-lockdown. Sahay was established to address this gap, delivering survival rations directly to the doorsteps of those unable to travel due to frailty. Sahay provides rations, clothing, and essentials to abandoned elderly, ensuring their survival post-pandemic., responding to the medical fraternity’s warning of devastation among aged populations with untreated co-morbidities during the second COVID wave. Sahay also offers free medical consultation, diagnosis, medication, and testing for co-morbidities, aiming to provide sustainable therapy and early detection for vulnerable populations through the Anil Ghosh Memorial Clinic.
