Mother Teresa was awarded the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her good work in bringing hope and help to suffering humanity. The winner, chosen from among fifty-six nominees, including US president Jimmy Carter, is a 69 years old Roman Catholic nun. She is the sixth woman in the world and first citizen of India to get this highly esteemed prize since it was instituted in 1901.
Born of Albanian parents in what is now Yugoslavia, Mother Teresa came to India fifty years ago. There she taught geography in a convent school. In 1947. she gave up her teaching career and moved into the slums of Calcutta to serve God among the poorest of the poor. Later she became an Indian citizen. In 1950, she founded a religious order, the Missionaries of Charity, and set herself to relieve the distressed. It was indeed a challenging job for her and her followers, but strong determination made for success. Today, after thirty years of sustained efforts, the order which is best known for its home for the dying destitute has grown up to be a very big organization, running schools, hospitals, youth centers and orphanages around the world.
Mother Teresa is a frail-looking but energetic woman who talks little of herself, only letting her charisma and works of charity to which she has dedicated her life do all the talking. Though virtually she is regarded as a saint by her followers, she always tells them humbly what she does is actually God’s work.

“I don't believe in taking the right decisions. I take decisions, I take decisions and then make them right." One of them make them right. One of the Ratan Tata's inspiring words which made me dream beyond shadows. I feel fortunate that I discovered him in the early stage of my life and now I am using his teachings to mould my future the way I want.

He graduated from Riverdale country from New York, Ratan Tata began his career in the Tata Group working on the shop floor of Tata Steel. After working for almost 10 years he was appointed as the director-in-charge of the National Radio and Electronics Company Limited (NEL.CO) in order to help its struggling finances. He worked hard building a better consumer electronics division but the economic recession and union strikes prevented him from achieving success and this success helped Tata to be appointed as the chairman of the Tata Group of companies. He started with a very basic job in his father's company and today he owns a billion dollar company.
The tag of greatness does not come without making any sacrifices and this tag on Ratan Tata suits to its best.
Tata group launched its passenger car Tata Indica in the year 1998 but Tata Indica was a failure in its first year and the experiment seemed to be failing. Many people started
advising Ratan Tata that he should sell the passenger car business. Ratan Tata also agreed to this, and a proposal was given to Ford, they showed interest too. The three-hour meeting at Ford headquarters in Detroit, chairman of Ford (Bill Ford) said to Ratan Tata, "Why did you enter in the passenger car business when you were not knowing of it. It will be a favour if we buy this business from you."
Ratan Tata decided to move back home. While travelling he was very tense as the feeling of being insulted was on his mind. After earlier failures, Tata Motors did well with its business of passenger cars but in the same period, Ford did very bad. In 2008 when Ford was on its way of bankruptcy, Tata Group offered Ford to buy its luxury car brand, Jaguar Land Rover. Ford arrived in Mumbai for the meeting.

The government of India is encouraging medical tourism in the country by offering tax benefits and export incentives to the participating hospitals. Medical visas are being cleared quickly without any hassles. With a view to facilitating the growth of medical tourism industry, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare along with the Ministry of Tourism has set up a task force to evaluate the opportunities in the industry. Efforts are being made to standardise procedures and to guide foreign patients to select the hospitals most suited to their needs. Meanwhile, several private hospitals are seeking to take advantage of the booming medical tourism industry and are investing hugely in acquiring equipment and skills.
However, medical tourism carries some risks that locally provided medical care does not. Some countries like India, Malaysia and Thailand have very different infectious diseases rarely found in Europe and North America. Exposure to diseases without having built-up natural immunity can be a hazard for weak individuals specially with respect to gastrointestinal diseases like Hepatitis A, amoebic dysentery etc., which could slow down the recovery process. Also, medical tourists may be at risk from mosquito-transmitted diseases, influenza and tuberculosis. The quality of post- operative care can also vary dramatically depending on the hospital and the country. Finally, after returning home, a patient has a limited contact with their surgeon. This may make it difficult to deal with any complications that may arise later, such as a delayed infection.
The concept of medical tourism raises some important questions regarding accessibility, affordability and ethics in medical care. It is unfortunate that a large section of the Indian population has little or no access to private health care. Public health care system is inadequate and lacks proper infrastructure and facilities. One wonders if it is sensible to make provisions for medical tourism in a democratic country like India, which has failed to provide nourishment, sanitation and health care to its masses.
