The campaign commenced in 2013 in a humble manner. Social media was used since 2015 in the form of whatsapp groups, facebook page and facebook group.
As of now more than 45000 people from around 36 countries are connected directly with this campaign through social media. Lectures of Dr.Dixit are viewed by lakhs of people. Thousands of people have lost weight. Hundreds of diabetics are benefitted. In some the doses of anti-diabetes medicines are decreased and in some totally stopped. Most importantly this campaign has provided a ray of hope to all obese and diabetics in the world. The feeling that they can maintain good health by their own efforts has instilled confidence in them. People who were unable to walk for 2 Km are now planning to run 10 Km or even 21 Km marathons! This positivity is growing in all circles of society wherever our members are there
Diabetes Reversal Centres: One such centre will commence at Nagpur and other at Pune in September 2018. The purpose is to reduce medicines of patients with diabetics. To start with a batch of 100 patients will be followed for 6 months to one year till their diabetes is reversed. This activity will be scaled up in future.
