Corporate Social Responsibility
After working for half of her professional life on top position at corporate Hospital and being involved in high end intensive care, she first started attending, the charitable Saran Ashram Hospital of Dayalbagh on weekends and its free medical camps for marginalized population of neighborhood and tribal area of Madhya Pradesh (2010). She has contributed to more than 250 local and 36 tribal free multi speciality medical camps since then.
Integrated Modern Medicine
On treating children from marginalized population she realized that it’s here where the actual services of a real professional is required and gradually she evolved herself to treat financially downtrodden village children through ultra low cost, integrated systems, modern medicine and AYUSH (acronym of various systems of medicine, namely, Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) in consultation and realized that a simple decoction can work wonders.
Personal and Professional life satisfaction
Connecting to needy segment of children as selfless service has given incomparable professional satisfaction and value to both her professional as well as personal life. She realizes that this achievement is something far different and fulfilling, than receiving gold medals in examination and earning money and position in life.
