Dr Taru Jindal earned her medical degrees in Pune and Mumbai, but it was in a district hospital in Motihari in Bihar that she first chose to work. Her assignment was to train nurses and doctors in adopting better practices. Her second assignment, too, was in Bihar, in the village of Masarhi, where she helped set up a community health centre.
Both opportunities came through Doctors For You (DFY) and its founder, Dr Ravikant Singh. She had made up her mind that the big cities didn’t need her skills. Her motivation came from exposure as a student. . .
