SSSIHMS WELFARE SOCIETY

The Welfare Society (WS) was formed at the instance of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in February 1995 with the broad objectives of:

• Welfare services for OPD patients and their attendants by providing them wholesome and hygienic food at nominal rates.
• A good canteen for the staff and sevadal, serving healthy meals in congenial surroundings at reasonable rates.
• Other activities for ensuring safe and healthy living conditions in the campus.
• Bhagawan nominated some of the members of the staff who would constitute the nine member General Body, which formed a five member Executive Committee to actively supervise and implement policies and practices in tandem with the General Body.
