Growing up in Koderma, Jharkhand, the dream of becoming a neurosurgeon seemed worlds away from the reality of rural life. For a female student in a remote area, the path to medicine is paved with more than just academic hurdles; it is a battle against limited resources, lack of local mentorship, and the quiet weight of societal expectations.
In 2012, that dream took its first major step when I secured Rank 249 in AIPMT. Leaving the quiet, familiar lanes of Jharkhand for the bustling halls of Lady Hardinge Medical College, Delhi, was a turning point. It was there—and later during my MS at UCMS & GTB Hospital—that I realized the vast disparity between urban healthcare and the villages I called home.
Success in such a demanding field is rarely a solo journey. My achievements are a testament to the unwavering faith of my family
Who taught me that geography should never limit my ambition and stood by me when I chose the most difficult surgical path.
Whose emotional resilience and prayers provided the foundation for my long nights of study and surgery.
Who remained my constant support system, cheering for every milestone from Delhi to Varanasi.
When I decided to pursue Neurosurgery, many cautioned me. They said the hours were too long, the stakes too high, and the field too “male-dominated.” Entering IMS–Banaras Hindu University (BHU), I was often the only woman in the room.
Securing my MCh seat on the very first attempt was not just a personal victory; it was a message to every girl in Koderma and beyond: No field is “too difficult” if you have a spirit of service.
Today, as BHU’s first female neurosurgeon, I recognize that my struggle was not just for a degree, but for the right to bring this expertise back to the people who need it most.
