| Mahatma Gandhi Medical Trust |
The Warana co-operative complex has been a model of "Integrated rural development ".
Health services were one missing link in this development process. People had to travel quite some distances by foot or any available mobile transport if possible to get better medical facilities, which were too expensive to afford. In critical stages, the need was acutely felt. The creative urge and genuine concern for man lead to the vision of a medical complex, a center of excellence.
Thus, the Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, at New Pargaon finally came into being to meet the precise medical needs of the rural population on the 2nd October 1992. It is a registered Trust under the Bombay Public Trust Act and Societies Registration Act.

However, the dream seems to be coincidentally fulfilled by the origin of Tatyasaheb Kore Dental College & Research Centre, recognized by the Dental Council of India and the Central Government of India since June 2002.
“We agree that God only knows the actual destiny and fate, however sincere efforts and hard work should make the above come true.”

All this will be possible due to the sincere intention, positive determination & true motive of our Founder’s Son Hon’ble Dr. Sudhakar Vishwanath Kore the Chairman / President and sole responsible Icon / Beacon Light of the Trust & Warana Health Care Movement along with the strong support and cooperation of Hon’ble Shri Vinayraoji Kore, M.L.A & Chairman of Warana Complex.

Thus we aim of developing this institute as an explicit example of excellent, sincere and honest service medically and socially, which is lacking in today's world.
