This centre commenced 3 August 1975. Initially the sisters lived in Jigni village in a rented house. In their interactions with the people, the sisters understood that illiteracy, poverty, child marriage, poor health, caste system, and unemployment were the main concerns. So they opened a maternity ward for the poor, and a dispensary where many snake and insect bite patients were treated. The sisters also started a balwadi, organised women’s and youth groups, mother and child health programs, skills training for young women and men, and in 1980 built a boarding house for grihini girls.
