Introduction 

Bridgestone India CSRs seeking proposals from qualified and experienced research organizations to  conduct an impact assessment and SROI study for our Community Health Program which focuses on  providing preventive and curative healthcare services through Mobile Health Unit initiatives. The purpose  of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of the mobile health services  provided to the community of Maharashtra (Chakan in Pune) and Madhya Pradesh (Pithampur in Indore) 

with a coverage of 40 villages. 

Background 

Project Aarogyam is a comprehensive plan designed to address basic healthcare needs through the  Mobile Health Unit (MHU). The MHU reaches targeted communities to deliver primary healthcare services  directly to their doorsteps. Additionally, the project focuses on building the capacity of local healthcare  institutions and community volunteers to ensure sustainability in the future. This project aims at  reaching out to provide healthcare to community people residing in the operational areas—who have  limited or no access to healthcare due to far-flung existing healthcare facilities or because of affordability  issues due to lack of financial resources or other physical / mobility reasons. It also ensures that it must  cover maximum beneficiaries belonging to socio-economically weaker sections (EWS) and other  vulnerable sections of society.  

Through the Mobile Health Units, Project Aarogyam offers: 

• Accessible and affordable primary healthcare services in rural areas.
