- For the last 60 years, 87-year-old homeopath, Ramchandra Dandekar has been travelling to the most remote villages to provide medical assistance and healthcare.
- “Chandrapur is a remote and highly dense forest area, with many localities where a bus cannot go. Therefore, bicycle or walking are the only options to reach the faraway hamlets and treat the people. In the pandemic times, too, many people could not afford to go to hospitals. So, I decided to treat them at home,” Ramchandra told
- The octogenarian has a diploma in homoeopathy and worked as a lecturer for a year before one of his acquaintances asked him to work in the rural areas of India. He’s been selflessly serving them ever since.

- उत्तर प्रदेश के वृंदावन के रहने वाले वैज्ञानिक और उद्यमी महेश खंडेलवाल से, जिन्होंने बेहद सस्ते सेनिटरी नैपकिन बनाकर न सिर्फ कमजोर तबके के महिलाओं को माहवारी के मुश्किल दिनों में स्वच्छता संबंधी चिंताओं का ध्यान रखने के लिए प्रेरित किया, बल्कि उन्हें आर्थिक रूप से सबल भी बनाया।
- दरअसल, यह बात साल 2014 की है, जब उनकी मुलाकात मथुरा के तत्कालीन जिलाधिकारी बी. चंद्रकला से हुई। इस दौरान डीएम बी. चंद्रकला ने उन्हें ग्रामीण तबके के महिलाओं को माहवारी के दौरान होने वाली पीड़ा के बारे में बताया। उनकी इस बात का महेश खंडेलवाल पर काफी गहरा असर हुआ।
- इसके बारे में महेश ने द बेटर इंडिया को बताया, “आज देश की करोड़ों महिलाओं को सेनिटरी नैपकिन की जरूरत पड़ती है, लेकिन ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में आज भी सेनिटरी नैपकिन को व्यवहार में नहीं लाया जाता है, जिससे कई स्वास्थ्य संबंधी चिंताएं उभर रही हैं। मेरा उद्देश्य एक ऐसे उत्पाद को विकसित करने का था, जिसे स्थानीय महिलाओं द्वारा निर्मित किया जा सके।”

- कश्मीर के बिलाल अहमद डार की कहानी ‘ह्यूमन्स ऑफ बॉम्बे’ ने इंस्टाग्राम पर शेयर की है। बिलाल, कश्मीर के बांदीपोरा जिले के रहने वाले हैं। वह बचपन से अपने पिता के साथ राज्य की ‘वुलर झील’ पर कूड़ा उठाने जाते थे। कूड़ा बीनकर जो कमाई होती थी उसी से उनके परिवार का गुजर बसर होता था। इसलिए इलाके वाले बिलाल के पिता को ‘कबाड़ीवाले’ के नाम से भी जानते थे।
- कई साल पहले बिलाल के पिता हमेशा की तरह झील से कचरा निकाल रहे थे। इसी दौरान उनका संतुलन बिगड़ा और वह नाव से फिसकर झील में जा गिरे। इस हादसे में उनका एक पैर बुरी तरह से जख्मी हो गया। जब उन्हें डॉक्टर के पास ले जाया गया तो परिवार को पता चला कि उन्हें पैर का कैंसर है और झील के जहरीले पानी के कारण ऐसा हुआ। कुछ ही महीनों में उनका निधन हो गया और परिवार की जिम्मेदारी बिलाल पर आ गई।
- बीते सात वर्षों से बिलाल रोज सुबह 6 बजे उठकर ‘वुलर झील’ से कचरा निकालने जाते हैं। एक दिन में वो 10 से 15 किलो प्लास्टिक की बोतलें, पॉलिथीन और अन्य कचरा निकाल लेते हैं। इसके बाद वो कचरे को एक कबाड़ीवाले को बेच देते हैं, जिससे उन्हें प्रतिदिन 150-200 रुपये मिल जाते। एक रोज कबाड़ीवाले ने बिलाल से कहा, ‘क्या तुम जानते हो अब तक तुम 12,000 किलो प्लास्टिक कचरा मेरे पास ला चुके हो?’ तब बिलाल ने सोचा कि अगर इस काम में उसके दोस्त मदद करें तो झील जल्दी साफ हो जाएगी, जिसके बाद उसने दोस्तों और अन्य छात्रों को झील की सफाई को लेकर मोटिवेट किया।

- The famous saying – ‘The past is where you learn the lesson, the future is where you apply it’ – holds strongly for Australia-based chef Daman Shrivastav who believes that success and failures taste alike. Whether it was working in top-notch 5 and 7-star hotels, being a fruit-picker on an orange farm or for that matter surviving the 1990 Gulf War, Daman believes that every phase made him a better person. For a chef of his stature would have never realised the meaning of starvation if it were not for trembling Iraqi civilians in underground bunkers.
- No wonder feeding strangers, especially international students, came naturally to the 54-year-old as soon Melbourne went into a lockdown in March. With his personal savings, Daman cooks 500 meals every week.
- Daman is presently working as a Culinary Arts Lecturer at the Box Hill Institute. He lives with his wife and 8-year-old daughter in South Morang, Melbourne.
