• If you ask any General Knowledge student as to who
was the first man to land on the moon, the answer
would be prompt as Neil Armstrong. If you pose the
question as to who was the second man, many
students would start staring at the ceiling.

4. Dr. M.L. Saraf
• It is not that people do not know. It is because the
fact that coming second in any race is not an
important matter at all. People do not remember the
person who comes second. Excellence matters. Dr.
M.L. Saraf maintained that level of excellence from
his school going days right until today.

5. Dr. M.L. Saraf
• The list of awards is numerous, as it would fill many
reams of paper. However, you should know that
some of the awards were truly significant. He won
the award every year for the best student of the year
from the year 1964 onwards until he completed his
MBBS course in 1970. He did not restrict this
excellence spree to India alone. When he ventured
to Liverpool for advanced studies, he won the
Norman Roberts Award for the best thesis. No other
Indian had won the award before him.

• The list of awards does not end here. It continues
with Dr. M.L. Saraf receiving the Dr. A K Talwalkar
best paper award for his excellent thesis on the
subject. However, if you were to ask Dr. Saraf as to
what has been his greatest moment of recognition,
he would instantly point out to the happy faces of
the poor people who he has treated free.

• This is what makes Dr. Saraf a great personality in his
own right. There may have been much greater
orthopedic doctors before him. There certainly
would be many more in the future as well. However,
no one would be able to combine such levels of
philanthropy and commitment to help the poor with
academic excellence. Many Dr. M.L. Saraf reviews
eulogize him for this fact.

8. Dr. M.L. Saraf
• He has always maintained that the smile on the face
of a poor patient is infinitely more rewarding to him
than any gold medal received for academic
excellence. You may call him a pioneer in the true
sense of the word. These qualities are very rare in a
person.

• It is truly great for a person like Dr. M.L. Saraf to see
Bill Clinton and the humble slum girl from Kalyan
with the same eyes. India is truly fortunate to have
such a great doctor as one of its sons.The greatness
of this doctor is that the rich, as well as the poor,
idolize him. They place their entire trust on him. They
feel secure in their minds that if Dr. M.L. Saraf is
going to perform the operation, they are in safe
hands. A doctor cannot expect more recognition
than this.
