He was very keen in making healthcare facilities available to citizens of Maharashtra.

After getting a negative response from them, he himself implemented his proposal for the needy 22,450 families in Ghatkopar. His project covered more than One Lakh people, having a sum assured of Rs. 50,000/- per family, through Oriental Insurance Company. In fact, hundreds of families took benefit of this "Group Mediclaim" Policy.
he was in search of the right healthcare facilities to be provided to the citizens. With the information he gathered, he opened the first ever generic medicine shop named as "Janadhar Medical and General Stores" in Ghatkopar (West), Maharashtra, which is run and managed under his flagship NGO Janadhar Pratishthan. The shop was inaugurated on 14 January 2013. People become enthusiastic since Janadhar Medical and General Stores is selling most of the common generic medicines manufactured by well known companies like Cipla, Lupin, and Dr. Reddy's among others. More importantly, the medicines are up to 85% less compared to other medical shops. He said that the secret behind this drastic cost reduction lies in honestly, passing the purchase cost to the customers after only adding the management cost of the shop.
