Jagruti's health clinic offers a range of desperately needed services.  These are provided by qualified women physicians, all of whom volunteer their time.  The ground floor houses a balwadi or pre-school, as well as the clinic.  The second floor is a hostel, home to 40 young women, many of whom have come from rural villages to the city to study.  It also provides refuge to women escaping domestic violence.  A wide range of programming takes place on the top floor, including health presentations, tailoring classes and counseling.
