Programs & Initiatives

fitness_center Waghera Career Academy — Nashik

Our flagship academy in Waghera Adivasi village (41.2 km from Nashik) was the first MIAM facility — a response to the absence of nearby higher education and the rise of negative habits among local youth. We provide free study material, furniture, subject coaches, online and offline classes, and physical training to prepare students for government job exams.

Academy Coaches & Staff

Competitive Exams We Train For

menu_book Chintalpeth Career Academy — Gadchiroli

In partnership with Surjagad Ispat Pvt. Ltd., we opened a new academy in the heart of Chintalpeth, Gadchiroli, focused on Adivasi youth. Students receive shoes, socks, stationery, and free physical training for police and defence services. The academy specialises in Police Bharti, Army Bharti, CISF, Forest Department, and other government exams.

local_library Library Academy — Lahvit & Donwade, Nashik

Two MIAM-owned libraries inaugurated with the help of Gram Panchayat — both staffed exclusively by qualified women, combining education with women's empowerment.

computer Sansari Free Cyber Centre — Nashik

A free digital-form centre, 14.5 km from Nashik, set up after the Gram Panchayat approached MIAM about children's transport and finance barriers. Operator Atharva Dhole (MS-CIT) helps villagers access:

child_care Sponsor a Child — Direct Education Sponsorship

Connecting parents who cannot afford their children's education with sponsors. Our beneficiaries include:

redeem Donation Drives Across India

Notebooks, competitive books, tables, and chairs distributed to libraries and NGOs across Nashik District villages — providing the comfort and dignity students need for long-duration competitive-exam preparation.

backpack "Bringing Smile" — School Bag Campaign

A simple school bag can be the difference between a child attending school with confidence or staying home in shame. Our "Bringing Smile" campaign donates school bags and stationery to underprivileged children across rural and urban India — eliminating the financial barrier and the inferiority complex that comes with arriving at school empty-handed. The smiles on their faces are a testament to the campaign's success.

directions_run Sports Shoes Initiative

Proper footwear is a basic dignity that most tribal students never have. MIAM's Sports Shoes initiative provides running shoes, socks, and t-shirts to children at our academies — removing the discomfort that distracts from learning and encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle. At our Chintalpeth Academy, every enrolled student receives shoes, socks, and a T-shirt as part of enrolment — because we believe physical well-being and academic confidence go hand in hand.

directions_bus School Trip — Baba Amte's Anandvan, Tadoba

MIAM organised a transformative school trip for tribal students to Baba Amte's Anandvan in Tadoba, Maharashtra — a 1,200-acre community dedicated to the rehabilitation of leprosy-affected patients. The students witnessed firsthand the power of human compassion and self-reliance, broadening their understanding of social issues and instilling a deep sense of empathy. They formed lasting bonds with the Anandvan community and carried the lessons of service home with them.

work Job Placement & Skill Development

In Gadchiroli, MIAM provides physical training and skill development to improve fitness, well-being, and career prospects. Our partner Surjagad Ispat Pvt. Ltd. supports the effort with direct job placements within their operations — turning training into stable livelihoods.

celebration Sunday is Funday — Adivasi Child Development, Gadchiroli

Every Sunday, MIAM brings joy, education, and confidence to tribal children in Gadchiroli's Naxal-affected villages — many of whom have never had access to recreational spaces or structured play. Children gather to enjoy toys, bicycles, and sports equipment alongside interactive learning games, while receiving chocolates and small gifts as a celebratory touch. What began as a simple weekly session has grown into a transformative life-direction program, steering young people away from substance abuse and tobacco.

local_police Free Police Training Centre — Waghmare Village, Nashik

Launched in December 2024, MIAM's free police training and entrance-exam preparation centre in Waghmare village empowers Adivasi youth with the coaching they need to join law enforcement. The centre covers general knowledge, reasoning, aptitude, and intensive physical fitness training — removing all financial barriers that previously made government careers inaccessible to tribal families.

military_tech Student Success Stories

In just 2–3 years, MIAM's academies have helped 20+ tribal youth from Gadchiroli and Nashik secure government employment in police, paramilitary, and the Indian Army. Our coaching covers the full journey: academic preparation, physical training, study materials, uniforms, and travel support — so that no financial obstacle stands between a student and their dream.

…and more recent placements: Namdev, Darshan, Nitin D, Samadhan, Sandeep S, Shantanu D, Bhushan S — every name a family lifted out of generational poverty.

location_city Urban Plantation — Mumbai

On World Environment Day 2024, MIAM partnered with Jitendra Pardeshi (BMC Trees & Garden Superintendent) to plant a Chandan tree in Oshiwara Garden — celebrated by Mumbai The Print, Latestly, India Reporter Live, and All Rights. Trees reduce CO₂, boost oxygen, and bring back flowers, fruits, and nesting places for birds. We received an official certificate "In Support for Global Warming."

forest Forest Reforestation — Gadchiroli (Future Plan)

Root cause: Human development into forests is driving wild animals towards human settlements in search of food — creating insecurity for both. Our solution: Reforesting through community planting brings wildlife back to natural habitats, restores food and shelter, and rebalances the ecosystem. Trees absorb CO₂, produce oxygen, support biodiversity, protect water resources, and improve soil health.

agriculture Plant Nursery — Wadlapeth, Gadchiroli

More than a green initiative — a powerful step toward women's empowerment. Our nursery is run by local women from Wadlapeth village, trained and supported by MIAM. They grow medicinal plants, fruit saplings, native trees, and seasonal flowers — earning a sustainable income while promoting eco-conscious living. Education and environment, side by side.

emoji_nature "Har Aangan Ek Phal Ka Ped"

Our flagship World Environment Day 2025 campaign — "A Fruit Tree in Every Courtyard" — was covered by Dainik Bhaskar, Dainik Jagran, News 18 Hindi, Daijiworld, Morning Kashmir, Up 18 News, Samar Saleel, All Rights, and Mid-Day. Centred in Vadalapeth village, it pairs every household with a fruit-bearing tree for shade, nutrition, and intergenerational food security.

healing Eight Pillars of Stray Animal Care

"Jiva Daya" — compassion for all living beings — is the cornerstone of our animal-welfare work. Our programs span sterilisation, vaccination, feeding, medical treatment, adoption support, road-safety belts, shelter, and a future Wildlife Medical Care Centre.

pest_control Snake Rescue & Release Workshop — Wadlapeth

In partnership with Surjagad Ispat Pvt. Ltd., our workshop in Wadlapeth village (Gadchiroli) trained villagers in safe rescue and release techniques, distributed snake-catching sticks, dispelled myths about snakes, and built a conservation-minded community that respects the role of every species in the ecosystem.

local_fire_department Fire Safety Training — Gadchiroli

As Gadchiroli develops into an industrial centre, MIAM and Surjagad Ispat run hands-on fire-prevention and emergency-response training — equipping local communities to handle hazards confidently across both industrial and residential settings.

medical_services Veterinary Partnerships

pets Recent Rescue: A Street Dog Saved

A helpless street dog with severe skin infection — wounds and visible pain — was rescued by our animal care team. Provided full veterinary check-up, medication, a soothing recovery environment, nutritious food, and regular medicated baths. Every life matters.

restaurant_menu RUHI Caters — Wadlapeth, Gadchiroli

A flagship women-empowerment initiative — more than a catering service, RUHI Caters is a platform that enables local women to harness their skills, gain financial independence, and build sustainable livelihoods. Beyond financial security, MIAM provides educational assistance — equipping these women with the skills and confidence to become role models in their communities.

Women's Training Programs

volunteer_activism Guardian of Niradhaar Women

MIAM has taken on the role of Guardian for women and men in rural Wadlapeth-Gadchiroli and urban areas who lack income and support. We provide groceries, oil, spices, lentils, and laundry soap on a monthly basis — restoring dignity and faith in humanity. Recent drives include grocery distribution in Chintalpeth (Gadchiroli) and Anandnagar (urban), saree distribution at Wadlapeth, and Flag Hoist celebrations at Waghera, Nashik.

ac_unit Winter Jacket Distribution — Wadlapeth

During the harshest winter months, we distributed warm jackets to residents of Wadlapeth, Gadchiroli — relief for those most vulnerable to cold-weather risk.

celebration Festival Support — "Restoring Sanskruti"

Festivals revive the tradition of communal celebration through unity, ambience, and food — bonding communities and passing faith to the younger generation. Our drives reach across regions and faiths:

elderly Old Age Home Support — "Restoring Sanskaar"

In a fast-paced world, parents and children spend less time together — leading to weakened bonds and aged parents moving towards old age homes. We assist partner NGOs in Madhya Pradesh, Aheri (Gadchiroli), and Meerut with seasonal fruits — Aamras, mango, watermelon, muskmelon — easy on elderly digestion and immune health.

family_restroom Sanskaar Ghar (Future Plan)

Both the elderly and young children are vulnerable and reliant on each other — for guidance, for safety, for support. When separated — one in an old age home, the other in an orphanage — they lead incomplete lives. Sanskaar Ghar bridges this gap, uniting both groups in one home: a circle of love, security, bonding, and belonging. Driven by our core value of "Sanskaar" — to nurture good citizens for a healthier nation.

sports_kabaddi Inter-Centre Sports Event — Wadlapeth, Gadchiroli

On December 11, 2024, MIAM Charitable Trust officially opened the Inter-Centre Sports Event in Wadlapeth, Gadchiroli. Inaugurated by founder Nitu Joshi, the event brought together young talent from across our different centres to honour the values of good sportsmanship, cooperation, and healthy competition — channelling youth energy into team play and shared celebration.

restaurant Food Donation Drives

Beyond festival-time food packets, MIAM runs ongoing Food Donation initiatives for individuals and families facing economic hardship — partnering with local food banks and community centres to reach the people who need it most, especially in tribal belts where seasonal scarcity hits hardest.
