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.
