Concept

Arogyanikethanam is a riverside wellness centre offering a unique one of a kind experience while educating the importance of altering the prevailing lifestyle responsible for a long list of non-communicable diseases which has been eating into the resources of the individual, government and the nation at large. Around one fourth of the adult population in Kerala are diabetic and many more are on the path towards it!

Arogyanikethanam is the brain child of Dr G. Vijayakumar, who believes that with advances in modern medicine, it is high time we incorporate disease prevention strategies as part of our day to day routine by adopting a healthier lifestyle. With bakeries and fast food outlets popping in every nook and cranny, food transporting agencies or services just a phone call away encouraging energy dense diets, loaded with sodium and unhealthy fats, it is time to circle the wagons and see what they are doing to our health and where we will be in a couple of years’ time.

It is long overdue that Kerala state well known for its high literacy rate and good health care system, shift focus to helping our masses adopt healthy lifestyle by providing them leisure centers in each and every panchayat thereby promoting this highly needed shift from being couch potatoes to being responsible individuals who are in control of their health.
