"Sev agram to shodhgram" is a book that narrates the story of a doctor couple who are rendering yeoman service to the people living in the remote villages of Maharastra.
Dr Ajay Bang and Dr Rani Bang completed their education in medicine from a prestigious university in the USA and, instead of going along with prevailing tide of brain drain,they decided to settle in the tribal ares of Gadchiroli district in Maharastra.
Influenced by the ideals of Gandhiji, this model couple has been able to prove that if you have the will and commitment you can surely bring smile on the countless faces of the suffering humanity in those villages which constitute the heart of India. Working against all odds of financial strain, illiteracy and the rigid traditions of the tribal people they are able to provide the medical treatment and training to them on basis of the constant action research that they are doing in these villages. Many of their articles have been published in the leading international journals of medicine. Their work has been recognized by the WHO and other international organisations.
The Bangs have been successful in their mission not just by their knowledge and skill but also by involving and winning the people for whom they are working. They have done some commendable work on the diseases related to women, children and men with a high degree of success. Some of the diseases of those areas are malaria, pneumonia, filaria and those related to malnutrition etc.
The tireless and unflinching efforts of this couple are a great source of inspiration for all of us. Dr Ajay Bang,who is also the narrator in this book, seems to be making a call to the countrymen at the end when he says, "Friends, you can make the difference."
