Born in 1916, Dr Sushila Nayar earned her stripes at Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi in 1938. A time when India had just 10 medical colleges, admitting a mere 600 students collectively. Lady Hardinge, affiliated with Punjab University, handpicked just 25 students annually for the coveted M.B.B.S degree.
In this select group of 51 women who graduated from those 10 medical colleges in 1938, Dr. Sushila Nayar shines as a beacon of inspiration.
The alignment is uncannyโboth she and her alma mater, Lady Hardinge, took their first breath in the same transformative year of 1916.
