One of Vivek's remarkable achievements is founding ‘HealthForHer’, a project spanning 1,227 villages in the Kolhapur district, potentially saving the lives of over three million women. The project focuses on eradicating women's cancer by raising awareness, educating rural women about the types of cancer, prevention strategies, and self-examination techniques. In collaboration with the district government, 'Raje Vikramsinh Ghatge Foundation' and other NGOs , he organized Janjagruti events and provided free cancer screening tests.

Immersed in stories of Rajarshi Shahu's contributions through books, theater programs, and conversations with elders, Vivek developed a deep curiosity and admiration for the Maharaj's life and vision. This inspired him to actively contribute to society's betterment.
