SGF ran a full-fledged Covid Care Centre at Atigre (Kolhapur), with expert doctors, lifesaving equipment and professional health care facilities. Over 27,500 patients were treated at this Centre.

SGF for the last year has been ensuring that the facility is well equipped with all essentials and is also looking at expanding the same to accommodate more people.

SGF time and again has helped multiple causes for the betterment of society. Be it the plantation of over 3 lakh trees or taking a forefront control of restoring and helping flood-affected areas of Kolhapur and Sangli through various initiatives.
