About Saptapadi Welfare Centre
Established in 2022 as a registered society and charitable trust, the Saptapadi Cultural and Sports Association is dedicated to promoting arts, culture, sports, and social welfare. To advance our social welfare mission, we have established the Saptapadi Welfare Centre at Pirangut—a dedicated senior citizen and medical care facility.
We have partnered with Adhar Vishwastha Sanstha, bringing over 25 years of specialized experience in elder and medical care under the guidance of trustees Dr. Nanda Shivgunde and Dr. Pratik Shivgunde.

Founder – Adhar Vishwastha Sanstha | Adhar Care Center | Social Worker & Homoeopathic Physician
Dr. Nanda Shivagunde
BHMS, M.D. (A.M.), is a homoeopathic physician, social worker and healthcare project leader with more than three decades of experience in healthcare, community development and social service.
She began her medical practice in Walchandnagar and Akluj, where she established a successful homoeopathic practice. However, alongside medicine, she carried a strong vision of working for society. Her journey in social service began through the Inner Wheel Club, Akluj, through which she became involved in issues including women’s development, sanitation and campaigns against plastic carry bags.
Her work subsequently expanded into rural development and water conservation. She served as State Coordinator of Jal Biradari and worked under Ramon Magsaysay Award winner Shri Rajendra Singh on village-level water conservation initiatives.
Dr. Pratik Shivagunde
BHMS and M.D. (Medicine), represents the next generation of a healthcare and social-service vision that began with his mother, Dr. Nanda Shivagunde.
His association with Adhar began long before his medical career. From the 7th standard onward, he closely observed his mother’s work at Adhar Care Center and actively helped her in its day-to-day activities. Growing up alongside patients and caregivers shaped his understanding of the challenges faced by elderly, bedridden and dependent individuals. This experience eventually influenced one of the most important decisions of his life—he chose medicine with the specific intention of serving at Adhar Care Center.
After completing his medical education, Dr. Pratik took over the responsibility of Adhar Care Center from his mother and began working toward its expansion and development in 2023. He currently serves as Project Incharge of Adhar Care Center and Secretary of Adhar Vishwastha Sanstha.
