For the life you live, like a sage, despite all your peers looking for greener pastures around, for so long.
For the heart you have, an ocean, for the whole of the humanity even in the remotest corners of the globe.
For the dream you envision, a dream for Institute of Medicine making it a Centre of Excellence, making it the best institute in the region, every day.
For the inspiration you spread, a selfless idol, to all of us old and new.
For the courage you ignite, a one-man revolution, against the challenges seemingly impossible to overpower, every time.
I believe in you, Prof. Govinda K.C.
Doctor Govinda KC has started his fast-onto-death at TU Teaching Hopital Maharajgunj, Kathmandu.
Dr Govinda KC is already
recognized widely as a selfless campaigner who spends all the salary he
receives (as a Doctor at TU Teaching Hospital and as a professor at Maharajgunj
Medical Campus) on Charity and Humanitarian Aid. Be it Cholera at Jajarkot or
the Flood in Terai he is always there. He has been to the Earthquake at Haiti
and floods at Pakistan or recently in the Philippines. Unmarried, he spends his
savings in the training of the health personnel in remote regions of the
country.

This time, Dr. KC is on a
mission of a different kind.
He is risking his life so that the medical
education is accessible to even the poorest of the families of the country and
so that medical education in the country is more ethical and more qualitative.
He is fighting corruption that is fueled by political appointments and guided
by vested interests of few powerful business men.

He is an inspiration to all
who feel that the organizations should be free of unethical political
influences and those who believe that our society can be better if people take
stand against corruption.

| Students and sympathizers light candles in Solidarity for Dr. K.C.'s cause as his life lingers in course of his fast-onto-death. |
