Arogya World is a global health non-profit organization working to prevent the spread of non-communicable disease (NCDs) like diabetes and heart disease in India through education and lifestyle change.
Our name and mission are aligned – ‘arogya’ means good health in Sanskrit. At the core of our work is disease prevention through healthy living. Through our focus on partnerships and innovative technology, we implement scalable, sustainable programs with measurable impact.
Arogya world has innovated a high-impact, low-cost approach to disease prevention in India. Through our unique approach, it costs just 50 cents per person to educate; $6 per person to build positive impact and deliver transformative results across India.

Healthy Schools — School-based diabetes prevention programs targeting rural Indians.
