Patna: Dr. Niranjan Jyoti Rai has earned everything in his life. A doctor by profession, he had a well settled family and a good practice in London but his love for India prevailed over everything else. He left his job to offer his services to people of his native land.

 

Dr. Jyoti Narayan Rai hails from Rampur village of Buxar district in Bihar. He completed his MBBS from PMCH (Patna Medical College and Hospital) and left for London in 1979.

 

Rai says, whatever he is today, it is because of his state, Bihar and its people. During his early life, he received a lot of support from his village but now he just wants to return the favour.

Rai will enunciate a scholarship scheme for promising students. He will also launch a training programme for unemployed youth to impart skills that can fetch them a livelihood.

He is starting his campaign in his village on pilot project basis. If his efforts move in the right direction, he will further take this initiative to nearby villages and then to the other districts of the state.

Back in London, along with a job of a primary care physician, he also ran a ‘Welcome Day Care Centre' for senior citizens and others in need.

The centre was visited by elderly people of Indian, Malaysian, Chinese, Pakistani origins. Those who were unable to come were given bus facilities. They were properly taken care of and sent back to their homes at night.

On the lines of London, Rai is planning to set a similar care centre in Patna in collaboration with Better Society Trust.
