Some are born great, greatness is thrusted upon some. And there are some like Dr Bipin Bihari Mishra who have achieved people’s recognition and honour by dint of their hardwork,  sincerity of purpose and a diehard attitude to serve people without any self-interest whatsoever.

A former officer in Indian Navy, Dr Mishra is a nationally acclaimed philanthropist and ace environment activist. Hailing from Odisha, Dr Mishra was educated and got settled in Mumbai. He and his celebrated social activist wife Dr Sukanti Mishra have also been beacons of hope for hapless cancer patients.
