SDMH OutReach Programme strives to make a difference to the lives of the poor and neglected. In involves reaching out to those the world tends to forget. It is about giving them a smile and a reason to be happy. It is all about seeing the dream from our eyes, the same dream seen by Padmashri Khailshanker Durlabhji.

- The Ranthambore experience reaffirmed the philosophy of the Outreach programme. Satisfaction levels were extremely high.
- The entire programme was organized with the help of Shri R. S. Shekhawat, DFO, who is a cult figure and highly respected officer in Ranthambore. His presence, along with that of his entire team, throughout the camp was a mute testimony to his commitment towards the welfare of the local population. This certainly added to the service quotient of the camp.
- Heart rending stories and a heartening approach to providing sustainable care proved to be the hallmark of the entire excercise.
- The ground work of the NGO’s, voluntary organizations and individuals was meticulous and greatly facilitated the output of the camp.
- Civil administrators and citizen were involved in ensuring excellent administrative arrangements.
- All round warmth and affection were discernible.
