Our Story & Mission

Dedicated to the Health of Assam’s Future Generation

Project FutureFit was founded on a simple conviction: Healthy children make better learners.

Background

Why School Healthcare in Assam Needed a Paradigm Shift

Despite medical advancements in hospital centers, schoolchildren across Assam have historically faced gaps in routine preventive access. Uncorrected vision defects, mild hearing loss, dental caries, and adolescent stress frequently go undetected.

Recognizing that healthcare must meet children where they spend their formative hours, Debashis Baruah and a dedicated panel of 29+ specialist doctors assembled to create an all-inclusive school health framework encompassing emergency, preventive, promotive, and curative care.

Core Mission Objectives:

  • Early detection and timely treatment of common physical and visual problems in schoolchildren.
  • Establishing standardized medical SOPs so schools can confidently manage emergencies without panic.
  • Delivering comprehensive health education to students, teachers, and parents across Assam.
  • Building a seamless diagnostic bridge between families and specialized pediatric practitioners.
  • Conducting professional, result-oriented mental health programs through Manasika Svasthya.
  • Delivering affordable, sustainable, and professionally managed preventive healthcare at the school's doorstep.
  • Prioritizing fast-track hospital referrals for complex or high-risk medical conditions.
