Meet the " Saint of BHU " - Dr Tapan Kumar Lahiri
For Padma Shri Dr. Tapan Kumar Lahiri, it isn't a high salary or a fancy title that matters. After training in the USA, Dr. Lahiri returned to India to work at BHU for just Rs 250 a month.
Since 1994, he has donated his entire salary to help his patients. He doesn't have a car. He doesn't have a private practice and never married. Today, in his 80s, he still walks to the hospital every morning with a simple black umbrella to treat the poor for free.
He once said, "I will continue to treat people until my last breath."
In an era where we are often told to "hustle" for more, Dr. Lahiri reminds us that the greatest impact we can make is through service and empathy.
We credit Swami Vivekananda for India's spiritual renaissance but forget his contribution to our scientific renaissance. It was he who first proposed setting up of IISc and other science centres.
May the man who inspired Nikola Tesla and SN Bose continue to inspire scientists.
प्रगट हुई है नवीन होकर, यह कर्मवीरों की राजधानी ।
मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी ।।"
And Where Celebrations begins & ends in the name of
"ॐ नमः पार्वती पतये, हर-हर महादेव!" ✨
A place that can be rightly reflected through the words of Dr. Bhatnagar 🙏🏻
"मधुर मनोहर अतीव सुन्दर, यह सर्वविद्या की राजधानी
प्रतीचि-प्राची का मेल सुन्दर, यह विश्वविद्या की राजधानी ।
यह मालवीय जी की देशभक्ति ।
यह उनका साहस यह उनकी शक्ति ।।
