We learnt that he left home due to family property issues among his sons.

Once upon time in Mumbai on year 2000 tentatively, Mr. Sandip Parab, Secretary could see a lot of organizations dedicating resources towards educating & for the development of the children & women. But no one was helping destitute senior citizens. He saw a lot of wounded senior citizens lying on the streets and dying because medical treatment never reached them on the time. Even if the police admitted some of them to the hospitals, they do not have the time to follow up such cases. He sought to bridge this gap and started Jeevan Aanand Sanstha
