    1. Dear Sir,
      In 1984, while moving around in different villages on horseback to treat my patients, I located two children:, one couldn’t lift his left hand and the other couldn’t lift her right leg. I diagnosed them to be cases of poliomylitis. I started searching for polio vaccine and I found that it is not available in my country India. Then I found a company in Kolkata whi suggested me to deposit Rs. 10,000 and he would import 1000 dozes of polio vaccine from Rsssia. In 1984, Rs. 10,000 was a big sum for me but somehow I managed and imported the vaccine from Russia. On 7th of Dec’ 1984, I gave the vaccine to 1003 village children free and continued the same for another two years. This act of mine is noted in the medical book of records in the headoffice of Indian Medical Association, New Delhi and same that I am the first person in India to bring polio vaccine from Russia and distribute it free among poor village children. This is also recorded in the Limca Book of Records. New Delhi and India Book of Records, New Delhi.
