Because a healthy child is a learning child.

He counsels parents on the importance of vaccination, immunization, regular deworming, balanced nutrition, and essential dietary supplements for healthy growth. He also distributes free nutritional supplements and deworming medicines to children and guides parents in identifying and addressing nutritional deficiencies.Dr. Kataky has taken a proactive role by personally following up on the medical conditions of several students. With the support of volunteers, he is facilitating hospital visits and ensuring that these children receive appropriate medical evaluation, treatment, and continued care.

He was part of the relief mission in Tamulpur district during the 2022 floods and again in Darrang district during the 2024 floods, where he provided medical assistance and healthcare support to affected communities.
Beyond healthcare, Dr. Kataky has continuously supported the Foundation's educational and social initiatives. On Children's Day 2024, he took the initiative to donate food for the students, making the celebration more joyful and meaningful. He has also encouraged students by presenting prizes and recognising their achievements, motivating them to perform well in their studies and extracurricular activities
