Turning
Research
Into Community Care.
AaKAS designs, tests, and scales evidence-based public health programmes across rural, tribal, and urban India — working alongside WHO, UNICEF, government agencies, and academic institutions.
Evidence-Informed Solutions for Health Systems
Field-based implementation research, RCTs, mixed-methods studies, and evaluations — ensuring every intervention is grounded in what actually works.
Since 2013
Baseline, midline, and endline evaluations. We go beyond reporting — translating findings into operational improvements and scale-up evidence.
Baseline to Endline
Technical support to municipal bodies and state agencies — from WHO Healthy Cities framework alignment to action plan development and integrated reporting.
WHO · Government
Structured interventions across rural, tribal, and underserved urban areas. Telemedicine-enabled care, home-based services, and youth engagement platforms.
20,000+ Reached
Structured training for frontline workers, facilitators, and institutional teams. Task-shifting models built for sustainability beyond external funding.
1,200+ Trained
Programme design, monitoring frameworks, and systems integration — drawing from a decade of field engagement to help institutions translate policy into practice.
WHO · UNICEF · PHFI
Integrating e-Sanjeevani, ABDM, and Tele-MANAS into community care models — from infrastructure setup and CHW training to full handover to government systems.

Where Knowledge Becomes Community Action
"To bridge knowledge and action by designing, testing, and delivering community-led health solutions that are practical, evidence-driven, and rooted in real-world needs."
AaKAS (Aarogyam Knowledge to Action Society) is a national public health organisation dedicated to improving community health across India. We work across primary healthcare, non-communicable diseases, palliative care, women's health, digital health integration, and youth engagement — always beginning with what communities actually need.
We don't build projects. We build systems — and we make sure they outlast us.

Youth leadership programme in Jatni, Odisha. AaKAS identifies, trains, and mentors young participants to engage communities independently — in collaboration with UN-Habitat and WHO SEARO.
Our Work, Up Close
Each project is a system — not a programme. Built to outlast funding, integrate with existing infrastructure, and transfer ownership to communities and governments.

Every intervention AaKAS designs, tests, or scales is grounded in evidence — from baseline surveys and RCTs to qualitative field learning and implementation science. We never assume what communities need. We ask, measure, and adapt.
We integrate telemedicine, digital platforms, and data tools to enhance — not replace — human-centred care. Our models work in low-connectivity, resource-limited settings because we design for context, not just capability.
We build programmes that government systems can absorb, communities can own, and health workers can sustain. Every model is designed to function independently when external support ends. That is our measure of success.
Built on Trusted Relationships
A decade of collaboration with global health institutions, governments, academic bodies, and community organisations.

Voices From the Field
The Young Gamechangers Initiative is a model that could be scaled across India. AaKAS brings both the rigour of a research institution and the warmth of a community organisation — that combination is rare and immensely valuable.
Working with AaKAS transformed how our youth think about health and community responsibility. These young people went from being observers to leaders — that shift is irreversible, and it happened because of the patience and rigour AaKAS brought to the process.
AaKAS doesn't just implement — they think. Every engagement pushed us to reconsider our assumptions and strengthen our frameworks. That quality of a partner — willing to challenge and be challenged — is exactly what public health needs more of.
