The 5 Rupee Doctor

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

Dr. Gowda, a dermatologist, is popular for his social service for treating patients coming to his clinic at a fee of just Rs. 5.

Gold Medallist MBBS, from Mandua in Karnataka, and MD from Calcutta Medical University.

He does not have his own clinic.

It takes lakhs of rupees to build a cabin. From where will you get so much money...??

He lives in a two-room house away from the city. How can patients come so far for treatment, so he examines hundreds of poor patients daily sitting outside a fast-food restaurant in the city from 7 am to 7 pm on his bicycle. Diagnoses them thoroughly and prescribes  generic medicines.

He charges only 5 rupees. Yes, just Rs.5. Doctors with a Gold medal and MD degree charge only Rs 5 from poor patients.

In today's world where doctors are literally looting the poor, common people.

But Dr. Shankar Gowda is a god to all his patients.

At an event organized in New Delhi, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari presented the ‘Indian of the Year-2022’ award in the category of Social Change to Dr. Shankare Gowda.

“I have been practising since 1982, and have been charging Rs 5 for 40 years since I started my practice. Whatever knowledge we have, it should be imparted to everyone equally,” CNN News 18 reported Dr. Shankre Gowda as saying.

“There are so many doctors nowadays, but there is a shortage of doctors in rural areas… State government should make it compulsory for doctors to practice in rural areas for at least one year,” he added.

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai congratulated Dr. Gowda for receiving the prestigious award. In a tweet in Kannada, he wrote: “It is highly commendable that Mandya doctor Shri Shankare Gowda, who is popularly known as the 5-rupee doctor, has received the award of #IndianOfTheYear award . # Indian Of the Year is a role model for all who dedicated his life to the service of rural people. Hearty congratulations to him.”

My Salute, Dr. Gowda.

OPERATION SINDOOR ||| ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

  UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In a poem titled   ‘ বিদায় অভিশাপ ’—(FAREWELL CURSE)--, Tagore wrote: ........ রমণীর   মন   সহস্র বর্ষেরই   সখা সাধনার ধন । । [ ( To understand) Mind of a woman, my dear, ||You need a devotion of thousand years. ]—- Translation is mine. In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas. When the darkness of evening started falling upon us, he told me: “….Mate—I understand Machines, Horses, Dogs…...

  RISHI,MUNI,SADHU,GURU SADHAK,SANNYASI,YOGI SARASIJ MAJUMDUR In our country, all the persons listed above are not generally differentiated much, by us. Writers also, somewhat loosely used the nomenclatures in their writings. Though they have many commonalities, each one   of them is different, in their PRACTICE,   PURPOSE OF LIFE, AND LEADING   THE LIFE.   We will discuss about them, with the basic differences, in short. The one thing common about them is- that all of them are ‘Spiritual Persons’, and carry the higher form of ‘Sanatan Dharma’, or ‘Hinduism’—as we may understand easily. 1.0   RISHI: He is connected to, and composer of   VEDA, Vedanga, Vedanta--or Knowledge. There are a few higher stratas as well e.g. MAHARSHI (KANWA), RAJARSHI (King Janaka), DEBARSHI (NARODA),   ‘SHRUTORSHI’—who learned, and remember VEDAS by hearing, e.g. Vasishta; or only ‘Rishi’-e.g. Gautama.   There are 18 ‘VEDABYASAS’—and all are ‘MAHARSHIS’. ...
