The presence of senior members of the Red Cross Society, including patron Sardar Guru Charan Singh, was also commendable at today's event. Addressing the gathering, Dr. S.K. Rungta, a senior ophthalmologist and patron of the Indian Red Cross Society, said that today's event by the Roti Bank is highly commendable. Such events in Dalit settlements will increase public health awareness. Dr. P. Singh, President of the Indian Medical Association, stated that many misconceptions persist. People in Dalit settlements are reluctant to see doctors and resort to home remedies, ultimately suffering when their illness becomes chronic. Doctors from this community and surrounding communities are receiving free checkups for all who have come to the event, and we will provide further support after these checkups. Uric acid and thyroid tests are also being provided free of charge. The program was inaugurated with a welcome address by Kumar Mohit, a member of the Roti Bank. President of Ara Roti Bank, Kumar Rohit, thanked everyone and said that this campaign of Indian Red Cross Society is a commendable step for health check-up of the needy society. Ravi Sahay of Ara Roti Bank played a leading role in the program arrangement. Prof. Ravi Shankar Tiwari, Nikesh Pandey, Santosh Singh of Ara Roti Bank were present. Dharmendra Pandey, Prabhat Mishra, Rajesh Singh and Vikas Kumar of Red Cross Society played a commendable role in the entire program. Today's program was conducted by Secretary Dr. Vibha Kumari.
