Dr. Sudha Sehgal, MD
Dr. Sudha Sehgal is a renowned senior consultant ultrasonologist. She is an alumunus of Lady Hardinge Medical College, Delhi. She obtained her Doctor of Medicine in Radiology with top accolades in the year 1982.
After working for a while in India , Dr. Sudha Sehgal shifted to Medina in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia . While working as a senior Consultant in a leading Govt. Institution in Medina, she was immensely impressed by the strong commitment of authorities to protect their cultural and religious heritage. The high standards of hygiene and cleanliness, not only in the hospital, but also in holy places , encouraged her to try to emulate same standards in her own country too.
On her return to India , she took time from her medical duties to approach senior bureaucrats in the Tourism ministry of India. She made an integrated action plan for cleaning of ancient temples and kunds of Barsana , Mathura, Uttar Pradesh where Central Government, State Government of Uttar Pradesh and 15 leading saints of India worked together at one platform without overlapping of projects at any level. She received an overwhelming response for this noble cause , post which there was no looking back.
Undeterred by a slow moving government system and apathetic local authorities ,Dr. Sehgal built up a team of volunteers and soon founded Prakriti Foundation, dedicated to preservation of natural and ancient cultural heritage. It is the endeavour of Prakriti Foundation to rejuvenate many sacred leela sthalis in Barsana and bring them on Tourist Map of India. We expect the Ministry of Urban Development, Tourism & Culture to provide a link road connecting all of them with proper facilities for pilgrims.
In addition to corresponding with the various ministries , she has been working with leading spiritual leaders as well. She has ensured that ashrams adopt and maintain parts of Yamuna and Ganga river banks in Vrindavan and Rishikesh to keep them clean and beautiful as a public participatory project. She has been continuously trying to use her every breath and every single penny for various humanitarian causes.
She shares her volunteer’s and good Samaritan’s spirit with her husband, who is a Dermatologist at Delhi and actively works with children from all social backgrounds . She has been promoting and providing quality education to children across various sections of the society , without discrimination of caste , creed and religion.
