Executive Summary
The HelpAge India-SJVN collaborative Mobile Medicare Unit (MMU) project has been designed to
provide health care services to the elderly at their doorsteps in selected villages of Khirweri. For
initiating this project the following Panchayats to be mapped as per the information provided by
HelpAge India (HI) and SJVN.

Together with the sample village visit, the focus was also to establish initial contacts with key
stakeholders of the MMU project, collect basic demographic information and initiate survey process for
establishment of baseline of elderly persons in each GP. The key stakeholders with whom
communications were established were:
• SJVN’s Corporate Social Responsibility Lead Officials
• Helpage India representative
• Elected Gram Panchayat Leaders, functionaries and elderly persons
• Government Health Centres – Primarily NRHM facilitated health bodies like PHCs & CHCs
• Local Government Administration (Block/Taluka/Mandal/District)
• Non-government Organisations are working in this area
Therefore, on the basis of the list of the villages provided by the concerned HR/CSRdepartment of SJVN
and HelpAge India, a mapping of the villages and sites was done. The mappingwas important because of
four reasons, which were:
The MMU operation needs to align itself with the local governance bodies, especially Gram
Panchayats as it would require the sustained availability its resources for successful operation.
The basic information that will feed into the operation of MMU will come from Gram
Panchayats. The locations for parking of the MMU vehicle can be best identified in consultation
with GP functionaries. As per the mandate of the MMU project, the parking locations need to be
public places (Schools, Community Halls, Anganwadi Centres, Health Sub-centres, etc.) thereby

guaranteeing uninhibited access by the target group. These locations in a village are essentially
under the jurisdiction of Gram Panchayat and therefore, it becomes important that its consent
and participation are elicited at the beginning itself.
The village mapping helped in assessing the operational feasibility in terms of distance coverage
for the MMU. Here factors like contiguousness of Gram Panchayats, travel distance between the
GPs and location for MMU office were looked upon. The second important factor that was
looked into was population strength of GP and the corresponding potential patient load that it
will be borne by any one MMU. Based on the patient carrying capacity of the MMU and the
suggested operational areas by SJVN, coverage of GPs in the project was assessed.
For determining the exact patient load and generating the corresponding baseline a door-to-
door survey was envisaged from the very beginning. The in-principle support of the Gram
Panchayat leadership was considered crucial to conduct the survey smoothly and gather the
relevant information.
The SJVN team does not make any differentiation between natural villages/habitats and Village
Panchayats or Gram Panchayats (GP). If one or two villages appear on the list of villages given by
SJVN the MMU operation cannot stop at just reaching out to only these one or two stand-alone
villages. The services have to be made available to the whole GP in order to make it relevant and
participatory. Therefore, GP mapping was essential for making the entire process meaningful.
The mapping of the Gram Panchayat was done by locating a field contact, primarily an elected
leader from the Gram Panchayat. Supporting help from the field contact was then taken in
mapping the names of the Gram Panchayats corresponding to the names of the villages
suggested by SJVN. In all cases the information on matching the list of villages with
corresponding GPs and other associated conditions like contiguity, operational feasibility
keeping the distance factor in view, etc. were collected from more than one source in order to
ensure its correctness and reliability. SJVN and HelpAge India personnel helped in locating some
of the field contacts.
After Gram Panchayat meeting our team initiated a door to door survey for listing of elderly population
with the help of pre-designed questionnaire. Two separate questionnaires were also prepared to assess
the need of the mobile medical unit. After identification of elderly population in villages our field team
conducted a baseline survey of 100% elderly households in selected villages. Besides, a good number of
other household where there is no elderly population were interviewed. Data collection, data entry and

data analysis in the Help Age India’s ‘e-Chikitsa’ HMIS software were done. Octavo developed a Coding
Methodology was developed for data entry. Key findings of the end results are given below:
Key Findings
1. HelpAge has started their MMU activities in the Khirweri region and covering 12 villages in 3
Panchayats through the MMUs. The MMU van runs 5 days in a week in two sessions (morning and
afternoon). The unit provides free treatment, free medicines, basic diagnostics, and home visits of
the patients (in case of bed-ridden), counseling facilities and awareness generation.
2. All the sites parking areas located in public places.
3. It was observed that most of the identified sites have basic amenities like - accessibility, parking
facility, drinking water facility, electricity and mobile network. Only 10% of the sites have toilet
facility, 80% have PHC and 40% have doctors in the village.
4. PHC at Khirweri have basic facilities and enough to cater its service to the mass of Khirweri.
5. Interview with the village Pradhan revealed that MMUs in the Khirweri area is the real time window.
6. Out of 841 household’s, 500 household (59% of the total household) have elderly people (more than
54 years of age) in their house. In those 841 households have total 4085 members.
7. In total population 55% are male and 45% are female. Sex ratio is only 820 which is much lesser than

48% female are just literate.Till 10th standard around 16% have attended. Around 4% male and 1%
female are graduate and above.
9. The main occupations of Elderly people are faming (42%). 69% of the elderly male members and 8%
of the female members are engaged in farming.
10. In our sample 59% of households belong to BPL group and rests41% APL.As BPL people are more in
every village and they do not have affordability to access medical facility, MMU could play an
important role to provide medical facility.
11. It is mainly tribal areas. According to the caste wise distribution 43% families who have elder people
belong to the OBC group, 34% and 9% ST and SC respectively.
12. Around 84% avail private clinics and doctors’ for their treatment, 80% get treatment at Sub

15. Around 55% of the total population and 61% elderly people haveorthopedic problems.Out of the
total orthopedic disable elderly people 21% are having problems in hand and 79% in leg.
16. Most of the elderly are addicted with tobacco (53% are tobacco consumers, 7% are beedi smokers).
Only 4% elderly people consume alcohol.
17. Around 69% of the addicted people are male and the rest of 31% are female.
18. As most of addicted people (74%) are occasional MMU has a major role to increase awareness about

and Ulcer. In Asthma and Joint Pain more than 90% people have availed their treatment.
22. 54% have availed treatment at private clinics, 32% have availed treatment at Govt. Hospitals and
13% at Sub Centres/PHCs. It is clearly understood as people are going to Private clinic if MMU can
provide better facility at free of cost people will avail treatment from MMU.
23. Overall 86% (90% of elderly males and 81% of the elderly female) of people are involved in different
activities. Female participation is much lesser than male participation. Elders mostly participate in
social activities (74%) and in religious activities (71%).
24. Overall 32% of elderly people (35% Male and 29% Female) are aware about their rights. It can be
concluded that awareness about their rights in this area is very low. MMU unit can play a positive
role in it.
25. Only 1.16% families reported abuse, 2.26% observed abuse of elderly people. Almost around 96%
have confirmed of no abuse of elders. After the intervention of MMU units in the area awareness
level among household have increased through the interaction with the MMU staffs and HelpAge
India’s officials.

Economy
The district economy is mainly dependent on co-operative sector. Late Padmashree Dr. Vitthalrao Vikhe
Patil started the first co-operative sugar factory in the district at Pravaranagar during the year 1949,
which was the first of its kind in the Asian continent. Ahmednagar is a pioneer district in co-operative
development and in up-scaling of sugarcane cultivators through the sugar factories. Similarly dairy co-
operatives have also developed as a secondary movement for the benefit of the dairy farmers.
Fourteen co-operative sugar factories, 9310 co-operative societies, 1281 co-operatives dairy societies
and 4 fruit and vegetable co-operative societies are the backbone of the district providing impetus to
the rural economy. The irrigation water co-operatives and transports co-operatives are also playing an
important role in the district. The problem related to credit inputs and marketing has been addressed to
a great extent that has made the farming community free from the clutches of middlemen and private
lenders through the dynamic leadership of the co-operative movement.
Thus, co-operative sector in the district is dealing with all types of needs of the farming community,
village prosperity and all-round socio-economic development of the district.
Approximately 573,982 households are dependent on agricultural activities and among these, nearly
498,355 households are cultivators and the remaining are agricultural laborers. It is one of the twelve
districts in Maharashtra which receiving fund from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme.

Chapter 2: Approach & Methodology
Objective
Health infrastructure of this area is very poor and due to poor economic conditions people could not
afford the available medical facilities.The current study deals with the identification of elderly
population (age more than 54 years).Besides, this study also looks into the available health facility in the
project location and identifies the site for mobile medical unit and finalizing an operational plan for the
same.
Scope of the Work
Identification of villages in the proposed MMU location in consultation with local sponsor officials
and Help Age India team
Visiting MMU location and all identified villages in each location in order to prepare detailed
operational plan
Active consultation with major stakeholders in the identified villages to elicit their opinion regarding
inclusion of their villages in the project and soliciting their active participation during the
implementation period of the project i.e. 3 years
Conducting baseline survey in each location consisting of a number of villages or gram panchayats
by recruiting local investigators/surveyors in order to arrive at the exact numbers of elders in each
village and location
Identifying central locations in consultations with Help Age India and sponsor for establishing the
project office where the MMU staff would gather, stocks would be kept, records would be
maintained and MMU would be parked during non-functioning days and hours
Site selection and Baseline survey report – Khirweri, Maharashtra
Page 13 of 43
Methodology
The methodology for the study includes the field survey and secondary research.
Secondary Research Octavo team carried out secondary research in which documents relating to the current project were
collected from the varied sources (who were in the public domain). In the secondary study our
researchers saw the following parameters:
District demographics including health indicators
Social and financial scenario of the project location
Establishing contacts with the Panchayats was the second most crucial step in the project initiation
process. There were many objectives for establishing this contact. They are as follows:
Appraising the Panchayat leadership on the MMU project and develop a consensual understanding
among the local leadership and general population on the need of the project and the health as well
as psycho-social benefits that it is going to accrue to the elderly population.
Mapping of basic infrastructure was another requirement which would help the project run from
those points. Resources like government schools, Anganwadi Centres, Health Sub-centre, Village
Community Halls, Temples, etc. are counted as basic infrastructure available in the villages or
habitats. Usually all people in the village have access to these resources and these would serve as
the parking place for the MMU. The MMU would park at these locations at predetermined time
slots and would offer the health and counseling services to the elderly of the nearby
villages/hamlets within a particular village. Since Gram Panchayats (GP) have many such hamlets the
MMU would need to park at more than one location within the GP.
A basic understanding of the constitution of the Gram Panchayat, its geographical spread, number
of hamlets/natural villages, population with necessary disaggregation (male/female, BPL/APL, no. of
elderly persons, etc.), etc. is required to address the health needs through this programme.
Unless it is known as to how many elderly persons (for this project an elderly person is one who is 55
years old and/or above) live in a village, how many households have elderly people, their habits,
their disease history, etc. it would be imprudent to start the project because the benefits that
accrued to the elderly people because of this intervention cannot be measured or evaluated at a
later point in time. Monitoring would also not be possible without a baseline. Moreover, individual
cards would be issued to each elder for tracking his/her individual health status at the time of
Site selection and Baseline survey report – Khirweri, Maharashtra
Page 14 of 43
his/her visit to the MMU. The consent and cooperation of the GP leadership to conduct this baseline
survey is considered essential.
Since the project will run for a period of five years sustained support and assistance would be
required from the GP leadership for its smooth operation and conflict resolution in case of any
eventual need. Therefore, a relationship building exercise is also at the core of establishing contact
with the GP leadership.
The first point of contact was usually the Gram Panchayat offices and a meeting with Panchayat
Pradhan, Secretary and other key people of the village was held. In such meetings the participants
were introduced to HelpAge India’s organizational objectives and operation. Thereafter, they were
appraised in-detail about the objectives and operational aspects of the MMU project. Their views on
the project were also elicited. In all the cases the Panchayat leadership welcomed the initiative
undertaken by HelpAge India and appreciated the working model of project and assured their
continued support for smooth running of the project.
After initial discussion with GP leadership basic information on demography and infrastructural facilities
were collected. The parameters on which information were collected were:
• Population – with necessary disaggregation
• No. of Households (HHs) in the GP
No. of BPL HHs
No of HHs with M-NREGA Job cards – Discussion was held on elderly people’s
participation in M-NREGA work
No. of HHs enrolled under any government Health Insurance scheme
No. of old Age pensioners (& pending pension applications, if any)
• Administrative arrangement – District, Sub-division, Tehsil & Block
• Basic Infrastructure facilities in GP
Bus Services, Auto & Taxi services
PCO, Mobile Service and Internet
Community hall
• Health & Sanitation
No. of HHs with Toilet facilities
Cooking facilities
Drinking water facilities
Site selection and Baseline survey report – Khirweri, Maharashtra
Page 15 of 43
• Health Infrastructure
NRHM facilities – Sub-center to District Hospital related information
Private Clinics operation
Access to Health facilities
Any NGO operating on Health issues or on old age care in the GP
All the above information is being consolidated into a Gram Panchayat information format for future
references. After collection of aforementioned information, discussion was held on identification of
MMU parking locations in the GP. The GP functionaries were advised to select minimum number of
locations that would be required to cover all the constituent hamlets/villages of the GP effectively, i.e.
all the elderly people can access it without many problems.
Primary Research On the basis of secondary research and Gram Panchayat meeting’s findings Octavo researchers designed
the survey questionnaires to tap the perception of local people regarding the health facility and also to
capture their social and financial status. We have collected information from the elderly population as
well as the head of the household.
Approach
Meeting and consultation with key stakeholders i.e. donor representatives, local health clubs, NGOs
to select the villages
Identification of possible MMU office location within the MMU operational area of the nearest
place with sufficient infrastructure i.e. basic amenities such as electricity and water and voice / data
connectivity
Identification of health issues of elderly persons and community as general and available health
infrastructure in the proposed villages
Two separate questionnaires were prepared to assess the need of the mobile medical unit which is
given at Annexure 7 and 8.
Conducting baseline survey of 100% elderly households in selected villages as well a good number of
other household where there is no elderly population.
Data collection, data entry and data analysis in the Help Age India’s ‘e-Chikitsa’ HMIS software
Coding Methodology was developed for data entry.

Chapter 3: Site Selection for Mobile Medical Unit
SJVN decided to give mobile medical unit (MMU) facilities through HelpAge in the affected villages of
Khirweri as a part of their corporate social responsibility. The MMU project aims at reaching out to
provide healthcare to older persons above 55 years of age as well as the communities they live in—in
the operational areas—who have limited or no access to healthcare either due to poor services by the
existing healthcare facilities or because affordability issues due to lack of financial resources or other
physical / mobility reasons.

HelpAge has started their MMU activities in the Khirweri region and covering 3 panchayats (12
locations) through the MMUs. They have already identified certain sites over there for the parking of the
mobile van. The MMU unit runs 5 days in a week in two sessions (morning and afternoon). In every
village they have selected 2-3 places. The unit provides free treatment, free medicines, basic diagnostics,
and home visits of the patients (in case of bed-ridden), counseling facilities and awareness generation.

Survey team wanted to gauge the basic facilities in the MMU sites on the basis of few parameters like –
accessibility, parking facility, drinking water facility, electricity, toilet, primary health unit’s availability in
the village, availability of doctors, mobile connectivity and storage facilities of the medicines and other
equipment. During field visit of the survey team it was revealed most of the identified sites have basic
amenities like - accessibility, parking facility, drinking water facility, electricity and mobile network. Only
40% villages have doctors and only 10% villages have toilet facility.
Site wise Availability of Facilities
Therefore it is clear from the above charts that the selected sites in the beneficiary villages are
appropriate and accessible for the patients as well as medical teams. The elderly persons in the project
areas are now facilitate with basic medical support to live with dignity and respect. Interview with the
village Pradhan revealed that MMUs in the Khirweri area is the real time window.

huge scope for intervention of MMU units
in the area, as 59% of the household
reported with elderly population and those
population have minimum access to the
nearest available medical facilities.

household members). By multiplying the number with 12 we have arrived at per capita income per
annum. It was observed that most of the household are farmers and tribal. The average per capita
income reported Rs. 24,700. This is far below the district per capita income of Rs. 71,054 (Maharashtra

In our sample 59% of

primary survey revealed that in
almost every village BPL
populations are more than
APL. As BPL people are more in
every village and they do not have affordability to access medical facility, MMU could play an important
role to provide medical facility.
Caste Distribution of the Sample Household

43% families who have elder people

Chapter 5: Medical Facility
Available Government Health Facilities
As per census data there is
one district hospital, 2 sub-
district hospitals, 96 PHCs
and 555 sub centres in
Ahmednagar.
PHC’s status at Khirweri
There are 10 PHCs in Akole block, out of which only one PHC located in Khirweri, which is tribal PHC.
Particular Details Functioning on 24 X 7 hours basis No
Have doctor Yes
PHCs with at least 4 beds Yes
PHCs with AYUSH doctor No
PHCs having residential quarter for Medical Officer NA
New born care services on 24 X 7 hours basis No
Having referral services for pregnancies/delivery on 24 X 7 hours basis No
So it is clear that facilities in the PHC’s at Khirweri are equipped with basic maternal delivery system and
not sufficient enough to cater the entire mass of Khirweri. During survey our field investigators observed
following constraints at the PHC:
Non-availability of doctors /paramedics
Shortage of ANMs/ LHVs / MPWs.
Shortage of Drugs/ vaccines
Dysfunctional equipment
Untimely procurements
No minimum mandatory service provision standards for every facility in place which makes full
use of available human and physical resources and no road map to how desirable levels can be
achieved.
No local initiatives or role, Centralized management and schematic inflexibility
Lack of indicators and local health status assessments that can contribute to local Planning.
Poor capability to design and plan programmes.

Kombhalne village and in Poperewadi village. 51% respondents have chosen more than 2 options. As
people are choosing multiple options, either they are not satisfied with the single option or they want to
try different options. People opined that MMU provides better service than others they will choose

Chapter 7: Way Ahead
The MMU units at Khirweri a collaborative efforts between SJVN and HelpAge is a real time window for
providing health services to the residents, especially elderly residents in the Khirweri area. MMU
operation is primarily addressing health issues of old age people. Therefore, it becomes important that
effective referral links are to be established with the mainstream health system. After introduction of
MMU units in the area awareness among household have risen and they prefer modern medicine as
their first preferred remedial option.
Besides, providing health services MMU units are also supporting in the awareness generation of the
Khirweri area for elderly population. As a result abuse in the area was found negligible. This can be a
role model for other adjacent areas also.
The Project Coordinator or Project Officer plays the role of a socialmobilizer and counsellor in order to
create demand for health services among the elderly population by conducting door-to-door visits and
also working along with the availablegovernment health infrastructure and the Gram Panchayat system.
All the elderly persons are motivated and counselled to seek timely health intervention.
In a nutshell it can be says that MMU units could be one of important centre for seeking basic health
related remedies in the area and could be one of the important hub for information of the localites to
introduce other government and non-government schemes in the area.
