I.T.S takes pride in being socially inclined and focuses on sustained and effective Oral Health projects. In line with this thought process, where we adopt a village to bring about a big transformation in the lives of the people living here. The project involves engagement with people to enhance their health education as well as providing oral care facilities and supporting the environment in the village. The first village we adopted was Ghori and today is a proud day for us as we are expanding this project further to its 2nd phase adoption and focusing our energies in Greater Noida.

With the adoption of Ghori, we plan to provide the best of facilities to the people of Ghori village. As a part of the immediate steps at the village, I.T.S seeks to implement a wide range of activities to improve the quality of health for all people. In view of the lack of healthcare facilities available in the village, I.T.S already establish a ‘Satellite Centre’ which was serve as a primary health centre providing comprehensive oral check-ups to all sections of the village community. This centre will also extend its services to the cluster villages around the Ghori village.

Through this project aiming to adopt villages in different parts of the Greater Noida and contribute to the well-being of the community as well help them become self-sustainable after a while. Believing that all should create pride in the minds of all those, who associate with us and such community initiatives bring a positive vibe to ourselves. I.T.S also plans to interact with the village community closely so that with their active participation, we as I.T.S can promote oral health care and help prevent oral diseases. The activities of the centre will be monitored by the base hospital. All patients needing further investigations or surgery will be taken to hospitals.
