Their office is located in RT Nagar with 150 medical and Paramedical personnel. It offers qualified and experienced doctors, paramedics and nurses on call 24/7.

Operation Shanti

We help the poorest and neediest children and elderly, and the forgotten destitute, with the basic human needs: food, shelter, medical services and educational assistance. As we believe that every human can and should stand on his/her own, we are there to help the destitute begin to help themselves. We are based in Mysore.

Sridhama—Mysore

“The fear of old age is not the fear of death, but the fear of living”. There was a time when old persons’ care was a well acknowledged responsibility of those living under a single roof and not a debatable issue. But, rapidly changing family and social systems & values, have turned this into a major social challenge today.
