Since 2016, Srimanta Foundation has been discussing the importance of cleanliness and its role in achieving a healthy life. This initiative was inspired by the Namghars, institutions created by Srimanta Sankaradeva in the 15th century, which epitomized cleanliness and promoted healthy living.
Surveys on sanitation facilities in the Jengraimukh area of Majuli revealed that the Mising community practiced open defecation. In response, with the help of Sulabh International, community sanitation facilities were provided in Jengraimukh and Namoni Barpamuwa areas of Majuli in 2017, supported by CSR funds from Andrew Yule Ltd.
Similar activities were carried out among the Mising, Nepali, and Ahom communities in the Amguri area of Dhemaji in 2018, funded by Tide Water Oil Co. Ltd. Additionally, a Sustainable Rural Project on Water, Horticulture & Vermicompost was implemented in Madati, Kokrajhar district in 2018, funded by BHEL as their CSR initiative.
Since 2012, the Foundation has been addressing post-flood relief and health work in challenging areas of Majuli, continuing until the start of the pandemic.
Health camps were conducted where doctors examined people, distributed medicines, and educated residents about basic health and hygiene for long-term benefits.
Over time, the focus shifted from human health to addressing the health of the cattle population, which was deemed more critical. Along with health camps for cattle, necessary training for goat rearing was also imparted to the villagers.
