Dear All

Recently Dr. Chandrakant had to go on a short notice to India as the President of India visited our charitable trust in Pune on 29 May 2011.

Many of you may not be aware of another aspect of Dr. Chandrakant and Sardeshmukh family. We run a charitable trust called Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Trust. It was founded in 1954 by Respected Late Shri Prabhakar Keshav Sardeshmukh Maharaj, with the blessings of Sadguru Mali Maharaj. It is an Organisation dedicated to the propagation of Ayurved -traditional Indian Medical Science, Art and Culture.

The trustees from Sardeshmukh family are Dr. Sadanand, Dr. Chandrakant and Sarita (wife of Dr. Sadanand). The other trustees are Dr. Prashant Suru and Shri Sanjeev Gorwadkar.

The trust is conducting many projects like Ayurved Hospital and Research Centre, Ayurvedic College, Panchakarma Center, Aushadhi Nirman Centre i.e. Pharmacy. Ayurved Hospital and Research Center is conducting many camps for Cancer, Arthritis, Skin Diseases, Diabetes and for many other diseases. The Ayurved Hospital and Research Center is a recognized center by the Pune University for doctorate (Ph.D.) students. It is run by the trust since 1984.

President Patil to inaugurate cancer centre in Wagholi

May 27, 2011, 03.33am IST

PUNE: President Pratibha Patil will inaugurate the integrated cancer treatment and research centre in Wagholi at 5 pm on May 29.

Addressing a news conference on Thursday, Arvind Kulkarni, director, oncology, at the centre, said the research centre was set up under the cancer research project started in 1985 by the Bharatiya Sanskriti Darshan Trust to explore the role of ayurveda in cancer treatment and supporting treatment under allopathy.

So far, over 4,500 patients suffering from various cancers at various stages have been treated at the centre, Kulkarni added.

The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has donated Rs 1.75 crore for a state-of-the-art radiotherapy machine, Kulkarni said.

"Similarly, after examining the functioning and activities of the cancer centre, the union ministry of ayurveda, yoga, unani, siddha and homoeopathy (AYUSH) gave a grant of Rs 3.5 crore under its centre of excellence scheme," he said.
