A HIGHLY COMPASSIONATE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, WHO ROSE FROM A SIMPLE VILLAGE BOY TO A PADMASHREE AWARDEE

Over the years, there have been many ideas of what a Hero is. Some people believe a hero is an exceptional athlete, others think it is someone who made news for a job well done, or a few relate the word to Superheroes. Being a Hero is more than being the strongest person around. These are the people who make a huge difference in millions of lives with their unparalleled contribution, and are truly deserving of greater recognition and appreciation. These are the heroes who are not spoken much about, and nor do they expect it. These are "The Everyday Heroes" that exist in our world. Their life experiences teach us more than any book ever can. One such remarkable individual is The Chairman of KG Group of Institutions, Dr. G. Bakthavathsalam, fondly known as "Dr KGB," a Legend in the medical field and an epitome of Humility, Compassion and Love, whose incredible story needs to be shared and celebrated.

THE JOURNEY:

Dr. KGB is a multifaceted personality - a visionary, a renowned surgeon, a philanthropist, an orator, a leading industrialist, a dedicated teacher, a successful professional, an entrepreneur and an ardent believer in social work.
