throughout the world with his humanitarian teachings. The non-profit DSNDP is
driven by over a million volunteers worldwide, who strive to keep the legacy of Dr.
Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari alive by running massive blood-donation drives,
cleanliness drives, tree plantation & conservation drives, conserving natural water
reservoirs, assisting hearing-impaired children with free hearing-aids, free adult,
and children’s literacy classes, etc. A mega health camp which was organized by
