Sometimes, the greatest achievement isn’t a title—it’s a purpose. After a celebrated career as an anesthetist, Dr. Maya Tandon saw a deeper calling: saving lives beyond the operation theater. Witnessing the power of first responders abroad, she launched ‘Sahayata’ after retirement—a grassroots movement to train ordinary citizens in life-saving skills for road accidents. No salaries, no awards sought—only the mission: "Not one life lost for lack of timely help."
From setting up Rajasthan’s road safety policies to training thousands, Dr. Tandon’s story is a testament to how one woman’s vision can redefine public health. Honored with the Padma Shri, she continues to inspire at 87.
This is not just a story of a doctor—it’s the journey of a guardian of life itself.
