The history of Jalpushpa began in 1968 as an extension outreach of Maria Sadan, Nirmal. But when the people expressed their need for the continuous presence of the sisters Jalpushpa was built and inaugurated on 12 February 1978 by Valerian Cardinal Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay.

​

On 1 May 1978 a dispensary was opened. Many snake bite cases were treated, and programs on health and hygiene were held for the villagers. Later when medical care became available through clinics, our dispensary was closed. 

​

A nursery and coaching classes to help children get into the mainstream were started in June 1987. The centre also held vocational training for women and youth, adapting these to the requirements of the time.

​

In 2019 the Jalpushpa Cancer Care Program was inaugurated.  The essence of the program is to educate people on developing immunity and maintaining good health through holistic systems, and to take herbal medicines to treat the disease.
