solutions, and above all to accept herself - scars and all. Acceptance from society did not come as easily, but in time Dr.
Prema learnt to face this in her own inimitable style.
Over the years, Dr. Prema has emerged as a role model for many, and has given back to society in diverse ways- the
Smile Train, Burns Awareness programmes, motivational talks to young people, training doctors from Africa, and in
setting up Agni Raksha. The latter is an organization for burn victims, based in Bangalore and has nearly 1000 registered
patients, who she helps and counsels. Dr. Prema thanked God, her family, and her mentor, Dr. LBM Joseph.
CMC salutes Dr. Prema’s indomitable spirit and wishes her all God’s blessings as she continues to live out her commitment.
