Anandwan Ashram

 Anandwan is a unique and inspiring place near Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, known not for wildlife, but for its humanitarian and social legacy.

Anandwan is a spiritual and social rehabilitation center located in Chandrapur district, Maharashtra, India. It was founded in 1949 by social reformers Baba Amte and his wife Sadhanatai Amte. The ashram began as a small initiative to rehabilitate leprosy patients and has since evolved into a self-sustained community promoting dignity, empowerment, and environmental conservation.

The ashram emphasizes holistic development through agriculture, education, healthcare, and handicrafts, and is known for its eco-friendly practices and inclusive living model.
