Social Change maker

Winged Fables published the following story.

Dr. Sanjay Patil originally comes from a small village of Shahada, Maharashtra. He began his career in 1996 with social service and then he moved to Surat. In the beginning, he struggled a lot but still pined for doing something for the society and its people. Gradually, people got to know him and sought his help for almost everything.

In 2001, he was traveling in a memo train from Ahmedabad to Surat, when he came to know that a young man fell at Hathrun station from a running train and lost both his legs. Immediately, he pulled the chain and jumped out of the compartment. On seeing the young man in a pool of blood on the railway track, he ran and rescued him. The injured man was admitted to a hospital in Surat. Dr. Sanjay Patil tried his best to counsel the man after which, he was sent to his village, Amaraiwadi near Ahmedabad.

Once he encountered a group of porters charging money from the common passengers. He intervened and informed about the matter to the police and media and unmasked the whole matter before the system.  The entire incident was aired bringing down the monopoly created. He always helps poverty-stricken people by either guiding them or giving them money.

He says, “Whatever comes to my mind for helping the society, I am happy to do it”. During the recent outbreak of COVID-19, he came forward with his friends Dr. Jagdish Patil, Dr. Shekhar Chaudhary, and Divyesh medical. The team offered two times meal a day to around 2500 people for 13 days.

Dr. Sanjay managed all the resources for this.  His mission is to serve society by all means without expecting a reward.
