In 2004 Fr Nazareth Gabru asked SHM to set up a centre at Gangangaon to take care of adivasi college-going girls of Talasari Taluka. Initially the sisters visited the families and started a mobile clinic for three villages. They formed women’s groups to educate and empower the women and held tuition classes for poor children.

​

Meanwhile a plot of land was bought at Karajgaon and a house was built for the sisters. A dispensary was opened to give medical aid to the poor of surrounding villages.

​

In 2011 a girls’ hostel was started at Snehagiri for school and college going adivasi girls of Talasari Taluka. The objective of the home is to encourage education of girls and bring them to the mainstream of society.
