About Us
Destiny Charitable Trust (DCT) is a non-profit, non-political, secular, non-government voluntary/charity organization, registered under Public Charitable and Social Service Trustees Act (Rule) 7 of 1882, on the 31st day of July 2018. In-fact DCT has been voluntarily working among the vulnerable and excluded tribal and other down-trodden communities for the last 10 years attending to their various health needs and providing quality health service delivery at their door step. However, over the period, DCT has been transformed by internalizing that it is “health right” and not “health service” that is to be delivered on demand as part of rights assertion of the citizens; and that’s how the journey begins.
Dr. Naresh Kumar Bodicherla, the founder managing trusty of Destiny Charitable Trust as well as a renowned surgeon now in King George Hospital in Vishakhapatnam, used to render his weekly part time health services through regular mobile health camps with Missionaries of Charity the sisters of Mother Theresa when he was yet to finish his study and was a young house surgeon in 2009. Out of curiosity if you ask him why and what made him associate with the nuns in their regular mobile health camp programs which generally takes place at inaccessible hilly and remote locations, he would with a smile but spontaneously answer “it’s simple, I needed to earn some money to meet my expenditure, and the nuns used to pay me for the service I offered them”!. The young Naresh attended as many as 2900 health camps within 7 years of his struggle of completing his medical course as well as earn for his self-survival. But then, the experience of these two years engagement with the Missionaries of Charity, he constantly came across the noble work of Noble Laureate Mother Teresa through the MC sisters, and got inspired up to that extent that he himself started visiting the detached and forgotten people living a life of abject poverty in the hills far from health centers. In course, a group of likeminded men and women gathered around him to extend support and continue the campaign, and soon the mobile health camps of Dr. Naresh grew in numbers, quality, category, and regularity and the team could access more and more target communities in the most inaccessible and rural localities. Eventually the group felt the need of a legal entity of their wonderful work and that’s how “Destiny Charitable Trust” came into existence
