Sandeep Parab is a young man from Pandur (Kudal, Dist. Sindhudurg). From childhood he loved to help others. He was especially passionate about the homeless senior citizens. As is customary in Konkan, he reached Bombay at the age of twenty-four; but not for a job like other youth, but for social work. In Mumbai, he completed his basic course in social service from the Social Service League in Parel, followed by All India Women Conference projects.

He worked in many organizations like Parishad, Housing Rights Committee and Lotus Eye Hospital in Juhu-Santa Cruz. He was a project manager at the hospital. During this period, social service work also started in the slums. He helped slum dwellers to get water connection and sanitation facilities.

Walking around the area, he saw AIDS victims and orphaned children of victims. Five of them were admitted to Ashraya Ashram and accepted his parentage. In 2004, Parab got an opportunity to participate in a project of Shraddha Kendra of Akhil Bharatiya Mahila Parishad in Khar. As part of this project, a survey was conducted of street children and drug addicts due to homelessness and a day care center was run for these children.

To understand the side effects of drug consumption, many path plays were presented. Support was given to such children, their counseling done. While doing all this, Parab realized one thing: that though there are many organizations working for children and women, any organization that works for the senior citizens who live a destitute life on the side of the road was completely absent. From that realization, he started Jeevan Anand Sanstha in the year 2007.
