Jalore is located in desert area. Although physical infrastructures are very racy in this area but major problem is scattered population. Due to this problem, it’s very difficult to bring the every facility to remote areas. It was observed that this is a major reason behind the huge gap in health standard across the CAIRN operational area. To overcome this problem a major initiative was taken by Dhara Sansthan with financial support of CAIRN India Ltd. The objective is “To strengthening the health standard and provide quality health service s in pipeline villages”. The journey of MHV was started in August 2010 from Sanchore. Currently MHV is covering 22 villages under CAIRN operational area in Sanchore and Chitalwana block of Jalore District and Gudamalani block of Barmer District.

Background
Jalore is located in desert area. Although physical infrastructures are very racy in this area but major problem is
scattered population. Due to this problem, it’s very difficult to bring the every facility to remote areas. It was
observed that this is a major reason behind the huge gap in health standard across the CAIRN operational area.
To overcome this problem a major initiative was taken by Dhara Sansthan with financial support of CAIRN India
Ltd. The objective is
“To strengthening the health standard and provide quality health service s in pipeline villages”.
The journey of MHV was started in August 2010 from Sanchore. Currently MHV is covering 22 villages under
CAIRN operational area in Sanchore and Chitalwana block of Jalore District and Gudamalani block of Barmer
District.

Doctor’s opinion about target community-
-People are not worried to know reason for decease & to cure disease.
-Apart from medicine they are not taking any precaution.
- Lack of Health education among community.
-People are not ready to change life style & daily routine.
-Majority patients are suffering from respiratory and joint pain.
Importance of MHV-
-In spite of winter season villagers are waiting at the MHV halting point, apart from this they are
carrying infants for treatment as well.
-Some villages are located far from the blocks so medical facility is not available nearby.
-They are satisfied with our products (medicine) and services because 50 % patients are
repeated
- Through efficient effort our team has developed faith in the mind and heart of the villagers.
Project Learning-
It is very tough for us to maintain traffic and give treatment in short period of time. Travelling
time is a big challenge for us. Medical Officer does not have enough time for each and every
patient to discuss over diseases so that patient can be aware about the trouble and learn how to
deal with it. We have found out area of improvement which is lifestyle of villagers, Apart from
treatment they need to share precaution in their daily routine.
