This project has been created exclusively for the benefit of Senior Citizens by renowned Gandhe family of Nagpur, who are involved in various social activities.

It was thought that a beautiful residence should be provided to Senior Citizens to help them live a respectable & dignified life. It was also decided that a conventional Vruddhashram or Home for the Aged should not be constructed and no financial help should be taken from Government or any other organization.

As the family had no land, search of suitable land for the project started in 1997 and ended after 3 years. A beautiful piece of land (where Maitraban is now situated) of about 10 acres was purchased in July 2000 and it is here that the project has taken shape.

The land was fully barren with murrum and constructing anything like Maitraban was a big challenge. With the blessings of the Almighty and after facing all the odds of nature, labour, quality building material etc., Maitraban was completed in September 2003.

Maitraban started functioning from 1st November 2003.
