Think Globally ! Act Locally !

The spectrum of Pravara movement was being carried ahead through hard work and dedication by Padmashri's worthy son, DrBalasahebVikhePatil, the Hon’ble Chancellor of the Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences, Deemed University. After his heavenly abode his son Dr. Rajendra Vikhe Patil took the mantle. What started as small step in 1949, soon developed into an approach that has since been widely recognized as The Pravara Model of Integrated Rural Development and has won national and international accolades.

While working with Padmashri, Dr Balasaheb Vikhe Patil, realized the urgent need for the organized activities in many social areas to build a healthy, industrious and prosperous society. A comprehensive rural health care & education model was the natural consequences of this realization. It was with his untiring efforts, that turned Loni, a hamlet in to a vibrant township.

He was driven by Think Globally, Act Locally ideology. It is under his dynamic leadership, that Loni, of today stands testimony to the provision of quality health care to the varied society & testimony to the provision of excellent medical & paramedical education.
