Centre for Sustainable Development started its intervention at Chikali , Pangru Mohalla in the year 2022 on clean cooking .During the detailed survey on the use of chulha’s by the community for cooking , we realized that the women and the elderly in the basti were experiencing health issues . The community at Pangru basti are wastepicker’s and because of this occupation their health is always at risk.
Looking at this situation and the communities demand for a health centre, CFSD submitted the first letter on 17th July 2023 to the Medical department of NMC along with the letter from the “Pangru samaj samajik sanghatana”
The NMC medical department got in touch with CFSD staff to know if there is space in the basti to set up an “Urban Public Health Centre”. After continuous follow up,A joint field visit was conducted by CFSD and Medical department of NMC on Dec’2023. A premises lying vacant in the Nagpur Municipal Corporation school was shown to them which they thought was appropriate for the UPHC.
This was followed by writing letters to the Education department by CFSD and Pangru Samaj Samajik Sanghatana to grant permission to the medical department for the space.
The Medical department meanwhile made budgetary provisions to renovate and construct this UPHC.
CFSD did a continuous/persistent follow up with both the departments of NMC which resulted in the construction of this UPHC which was finally inaugurated on 22nd June 2025 and is now open from 10am to 4 pm for the women, children, elderly and the whole community. The Centre has one doctor and two nurses and two attendants
