COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

COMMUNITY RURAL SPORTS

Total Health promotes community interaction through sports. Our Aragonda campus offers various facilities: a football ground, 100m and 200m walking tracks, a badminton court, a Tennikoit space, and a well-equipped gym. The Amrabad campus has a badminton court.

To support grassroots sports development, Total Health extends sponsorship, training, and equipment assistance to government schools and local teams. We have also started sports clubs aimed at engaging individuals across different age groups.

In celebrating the rich heritage of traditional games, we organize events highlighting games such as Chausar Dice (Pachikalu), Kancha (Golilu), and Lattoo (Bongaram). These initiatives not only promote physical activity but also foster a sense of community and cultural preservation.

ARRJAVA WARRIOR PROGRAM

Derived from Sanskrit, the word ‘Arrjava’ embodies honesty and purity. At Total Health, the philosophy of Arrjava resonates throughout our work, permeating each pillar of our initiatives.  It serves as a bridge, connecting people to the heartland of India and offering insights into the harmonious way communities in villages and forests coexist with their environment.

To empower and engage with the communities we serve, Total Health enlists individuals from the local areas as Arrjava Warriors – frontline stewards crucial to every new chapter of the programme. Acting as the knowledge hub, they help the programme team understand the context of work and the values and attitudes of the residents. 

The Arrjava Warriors, who are trained in basic life support, document health data, mobilize people to participate in health camps and livelihood programmes, facilitate teleconsultations, and conduct community yoga.
