The organisation delivers healthcare services to children in government schools, aiming for prompt treatment of minor illnesses, routine oral and eye checkups, growth tracking, and collaborating with local health facilities for further care. It also identifies and addresses chronic anaemia, which can affect both physical health and cognitive development. In a collaborative effort with Lakeview Hospital, they conducted a Mega Anemia Detection Camp for 2,000 students across 10 government schools in Mahantesh Nagar, Belagavi. Results revealed that 40% of children were anaemic, prompting immediate action: 110 severely anaemic children received specialized haematinics for three months under close supervision, while those with mild to moderate conditions were educated about iron-rich diets and encouraged to adhere to the Government's iron and folic acid supplement programme.

Many children having talent, tenacity and interest necessary to pursue studies in the fields of Math, Science, Engineering or Medicine are deprived of good quality education, guidance and financial support. The goal of Pratibha Poshak is to identify highly talented students, even from remote rural areas and urban slums, and enable them to obtain high quality online education by digitally connecting them with mentors and teachers. Students having completed 8th grad are enrolled in this programme through a multi-stage selection process. They remain in the programme until they complete 12th grade and enter university education.
