An Introduction

Microfinance has evolved over the past quarter century across India into various operating forms and to a varying degree of success.

Dana is the word derived from Pali literature.  It means the offering or sacrificing.  Dana cannot be performed by everybody.  In many Jatakas and Buddhist literatures we can find the significance of Dana.  The Buddha has donated even his life for welfare of the others.  In one of the Suttas the Buddha pointed out “Danato Bhogava” carrying the meaning that those who donate become rich.  In my earlier years I used to think that those people who are rich may not perform great Dana.  In deed, rich people become rich because of their generosity and their efforts.   We will not find anybody who becomes poor because of their donation in this world.  In fact, donation will make you richer and happier.  This is agreed by the Buddha’s word – Danato Bhogava.

It is well known fact the most important thing in our life is health. None can expect happiness in life without sound health. Quality Health Care facilities are the most vital part of any country.
