Anandwan was established in 1949 by Baba Amte with a hope of giving marginalised people a dignified life through self-reliance and restoring a sense of belonging which they had lost due to the ill treatment at the hands of society. The Anandwan Smart Village is a barren land transformed into an oasis, which today is a home for around 2500 people including leprosy survivors, physically challenged, orphans, destitute and people who had lost hope to survive.
