PUNE: `Doctor is
the second God' proverb truly describes this doctor from Pune, who treats
homeless and beggars free of cost.
Dr Abhijeet Sonawane starts his day by visiting shrines and
religious places and treating the elderly and physically challenged homeless
people, who beg to survive. Moreover, he not only looks after the needy but also
admits those in critical conditions to the government hospitals, taking care of
all of their expenses.
Speaking to pune-news.com,
Sonawane said, "These elderly people are generally the ones who have been
abandoned by their families and have no option but to beg. I not only do their
check up but also give them free medicines which I carry with me. I do this
from 10 am to 3 pm from Monday to Saturday."
For these needy people, Sonawane is now like a family member,
who has been helping them for almost two years now. He also has a trust named
'Soham Trust' which helps in executing this initiative. "This is my way of
giving back to the society. While treating these people I build a rapport with
them and then try to convince them to quit begging and do some kind of work. I
also assure them of my support in all forms," said Sonawane.
Calling himself 'Doctor for beggars', Sonawane has set an example for others to emulate.
