Dr Vilas Dangre was awarded Padma Shri for his outstanding work in the field of medicine. He has made an invaluable contribution to the healthcare of the needy through homeopathy. He is a known homeopathic doctor due to his pulse-testing skills.

 

Especially in 2014, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s voice was disturbed during a rally at Kasturchand Park in Nagpur, his voice was quickly restored due to the homeopathic treatment provided by Dr Dangre. His clinic in Nagpur has become a haven for needy patients and he has treated more than one lakh patients so far. He has been visually impaired for 10 years. However, despite this, he continues to provide his invaluable service to patients.
