From Clinic to National Movement: Dr. Shipra Dhar’s Vision | DV01 Akash Ojha

In today’s episode, host Akash Ojha sits down with our guest Dr. Shipra Dhar, a renowned Gynaecologist & Social Change Maker from Varanasi. This episode explores the intersection of healthcare, social mindset, and the silent revolution starting from a single clinic.

We discuss the deep-rooted gender biases in Indian society and how one doctor decided to challenge them. Dr. Shipra Dhar talks about the stark reality of the labor room—the difference in family reactions when a boy is born versus when a girl is born. She explains why she started her unique campaign of charging zero fees for the delivery of a girl child and how attacking the "financial fear" parents have can shift the cultural narrative that "daughters are a burden."

We also touch upon the power of individual impact and national recognition. From a private practice in Varanasi to being recognized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dr. Dhar’s journey proves that social reform doesn’t always need policy; sometimes, it needs personal courage. We discuss the economics of healthcare, the pressure on medical professionals to be "business-first," and how Dr. Dhar balances professional sustainability with social empathy.

If you’re curious about how healthcare can drive social change, the reality of gender dynamics in India, or how one person's vision can reach the nation, this is one of the most inspiring conversations you’ll hear.
