We have received a very moving response to ‘Sparsh Sanjeevani’, Mobile Chikitsa and hope to continue these efforts as we try to bring greater health and wellbeing to people of rural India.”

Despite an extremely challenging environment, the entire film is shot in the Laxmangarh block of Alwar District, Rajasthan. All characters are local residents of the village and were happy to be part of this film.

In the film, a lifesaving Indian Medicinal Plant known as ‘Sanjeevani’ plays the role of a protagonist and storyteller. Talking about its legacy of saving lives, the film goes on to chronicle its journey as a Mobile Medical Unit (Sparsh Sanjeevani) that reaches out to the hinterlands and relentlessly serves people and communities at large.
