Dr. Uday Modi, a compassionate Ayurvedic doctor in Mumbai, has earned the title of "Dr. of Hope" for his unwavering dedication to caring for the impoverished. His profession has granted him profound insight into the harsh realities faced by his patients on a daily basis.

Witnessing the precarious conditions endured by countless abandoned elderly individuals across Bhayander, Dr. Modi was deeply moved. "Within my practice, I encounter numerous malnourished elderly individuals who lack even the most basic shelter," he reveals with empathy.

Determined to make a difference, Dr. Modi initiated a systematic campaign known as "ONE day ONE service of tiffins." Despite the daunting cost of 3 lakh per month, which he personally covers, 200 tiffins brimming with chapatis, curry, dal, and rice are prepared daily. These nourishing meals are then distributed through vans and the assistance of dedicated volunteers.

Beyond his medical prowess, Dr. Modi is also a talented actor. The income derived from his artistic endeavors allows him to subsidize the feeding program. Furthermore, a growing cohort of volunteers collaborates with SEVA on a daily basis, propelling the initiative's expansion.

Operating from his own residence, Dr.Modi has established the headquarters of Shravan Tiffin Seva, where he meticulously prepares over 200 tiffins daily for distribution among the elderly living on the streets. Recognizing the unique dietary needs of the elderly, Dr. Modi classifies the food according to prevalent ailments, with separate kitchens for diabetic and hypertensive individuals. Personally sampling each meal before packaging ensures its quality.

This labor of love is a relentless 24/7 commitment. There are no breaks, no sick leaves, not even for damaged vehicles. The elderly reliant on the tiffins provided by Dr. Modi's team would go hungry without them. "If the tiffin is missing, the elders in the program go without food all day. We cannot afford to fail them," emphasizes Dr. Modi.

Dr. Modi commenced his mission with minimal resources but an indomitable spiritual strength. His initiative has become a beacon of hope for the forsaken elderly and an inspiration for those yearning to contribute to a more compassionate society. With each passing day, Dr. Modi touches the hearts of the underprivileged and, alongside his family, unites more souls in the noble cause of safeguarding Mumbai's abandoned elderly.
