A story of Mangesh Shamrao Bharekar, a resident of the Kelewadi community, has been living with his family under financially constrained circumstances. Recently, he was diagnosed with a serious neurological condition that required immediate surgical intervention in Pune, placing considerable emotional and financial pressure on his family.

During this critical period, Tapasya extended its support by guiding him through the provisions of the Schemes. With timely assistance and effective facilitation, Mr. Bharekar was able to successfully avail the benefits under the scheme.

Of the total treatment cost of ₹2,20,000, he was required to bear only ₹80,000, while the remaining amount was covered through the scheme.

This support proved to be crucial in ensuring access to timely medical care while significantly alleviating the financial burden on his family.

Mr. Bharekar’s case exemplifies the importance of structured support systems and timely assistance in enabling access to essential healthcare services, particularly for economically vulnerable communities.
