A gynecologist by profession, she has been serving in the remotest areas for over 20 years. She set up the Society for Education, Acton, and Research in Community Health, along with her doctor husband Abhay, and started many such healthcare initiatives across India. She has managed to introduce modern medicine in tribal villages and made the villagers aware of good healthcare facilities. The first encounter with rural India happened in 1978 in a village called Kanhapur, in Maharashtra’s Wardha district. A widow visited Dr. Rani, seeking treatment for her infant daughter. By the time widow left Dr. Rani experienced and said, “learned an invaluable lesson on what it meant to be a sensitive doctor”.
