Dr. Raj Kumar Sharma: A Life Dedicated to Ayurveda and Compassionate Care

Early Life and Education Dr. Raj Kumar Sharma was born on June 10, 1957, into a humble farmer’s family in a rural area. He completed his school education in Kauhrian and Sunam. Witnessing a significant shortage of qualified doctors in rural regions, he was inspired to pursue a career in medicine. He secured admission to Ayurveda College in Rohtak and completed his G.A.M.S. degree in Ayurvedic Medicine in 1977.

Early Career and Community Service During the late 1970s, there was a high demand for doctors in urban areas, and many physicians from rural backgrounds chose to practice in cities. However, at the age of 24, Dr. Sharma decided to set up his practice in a town, offering nominal fees and free treatment to the poor. His dedication to serving the underserved earned him the reputation of being the “doctor of the poor.”

Personal Attributes and Family Influence Dr. Sharma’s compassionate smile, simplicity, frankness, and jovial nature made him very popular in Ghagga, where he practiced Ayurvedic medicine. Family traditions and values played a crucial role in shaping his personality. His father, the late Shri Deep Chand, was a successful farmer and kavishar, and his mother, the late Shrimati Saroop Devi, was known for her kindness. Their teachings deeply influenced Dr. Sharma, fostering his interest in religious texts and unwavering faith in Indian culture and values. His wife, Shrimati Sunita, shares his simple and humble nature.
