History
Titwala, known for its Mahaganpati temple linked to the sage Kanva and the mythological Shakuntala, lacked proper healthcare facilities despite its proximity to Mumbai. This issue was highlighted after a tragic incident where a member of a local group lost his asthmatic mother due to insufficient medical care. Motivated by this experience, a group of friends formed The Creative Group in 2000, aiming to provide accessible medical services.
They initially established a "no profit no loss" polyclinic in Manda-Titwala, supported by community donations and fundraising efforts. Key contributions included medical equipment and support from local professionals, helping to create a functional healthcare facility with multiple services. The group dedicated their spare time to this project, emphasizing the importance of community support in improving local healthcare.
The EtosThe ethos of The Creative Group is rooted in gratitude and social responsibility, recognizing the sacrifices made by revolutionaries and those in the Freedom Movement. Members believe it's their duty to honor this legacy by selflessly contributing to society. Their primary goal is to improve healthcare access in Titwala and nearby rural areas, a mission achieved through dedicated and collective efforts. The group emphasizes the importance of making a positive impact on the lives of others, reflecting a commitment to community welfare.
