Dr Vijay Anand Reddy
Introduction
Dr. Reddy pursued his MBBS at Osmania Medical College, availing himself of a merit scholarship of One Thousand Rupees along with a state government aid of twenty-five Rupees per month for students from the agricultural background and aid from the Nizam’s Trust at Purdue Gate. He was elected Joint Secretary, OMC with a sweeping majority of 532 to 42 votes. In this capacity, he launched an active campaign against ragging. Post the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, he along with his team raised funds of 5 lakh rupees across the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad for victims and refugees of the war. In 1977, he volunteered for relief work following the devastating floods that ravaged the state. In 1979, he was elected Secretary to Osmania Medical College. During his tenure, he was proactive in social work. Having passed his MBBS with flying colours, he started practising as First Medical Officer at Bhootpur Primary Health Centre. Thus began an illustrious journey which would culminate in his becoming a globally respected oncologist.
