In our country we will find easily people attached with social causes’, but sometimes we come across with persons or team whose mission or motto make us to feel proud and motivate us to do something for the society, not necessarily we can contribute with money to help others but there are score other ways like donating blood, kidney, eyes etc.etc. Ashish from Kolkata is doing social services with unique way. As per his words in our country lot of people died due to shortage of medicines & treatment and on other hand there are score of peoples whose medicines useless for them after treatment. It inspires Ashish to help the needy of medicines by collecting medicines from society’s such people which left with unused medicines after treatment. He made mind to collect medicines through his campaign of door to door visits. Ashish and his team is inspire from Swami Vivekananda, as per Ashish words Swami Vivekananda not did social services’ by sitting on chair but he did by living among peoples. So we also started our work same way and have started storing medicines thus come up with medicine bank.
Ashish resident of Kolkata, has erect medicine bank, for the weaker section of society who can’t afford medicines, help them by distributing medicines free of cost, by collecting them from the houses which left with unused medicines after treatment, around his area. He is doing social service of distributing medicines to the poor from last thirty years. While recalling his experience, in the beginning when he and his team started collecting medicines from the houses’, people argued with them that why they are collecting medicines? Are they doctors? But slowly slowly people started understanding our mission then they happily started handing over medicines to us, now not only they are receiving medicines but also specs, clutches, walkers, bandages of joint pain, even once they have received pacemaker which needed by a poor person and with the help of hospital his body get pacemaker. Collected stuff by Ashish and his team, with the help of doctors they sort out medicines of expiry dates & specific disease from the lot and then with the help of dispensaries they distribute free of cost to the poor persons, while sharing their experience one of the person said that hospitals write medicines which are very costly and often not in the reach of common people, here Ashish’s medicines store is doing tremendous work. Now other than common people doctors and medical representatives generously adding their contribution of medicines in his campaign. Ashish socialist activities are not only focus on medicines but once in a week he organise roadside hospitals for the areas where peoples have no easy access to the hospitals, people in large numbers taking advantage of his roadside hospital and they are getting not only free treatment but also get free medicines.
Ashish is doing novel service for the needy persons of his area, which without help of Ashish and his campaign would not get treatment because of financial restrictions and will prefer to skip from treatment. Thanks to unique idea of Ashish that they are getting free medicines, free treatment plus roadside hospitals near their vicinity.
