Here's a similar story of Pattipati Ramaiah Naidu (a.k.a. Dr. Ramaiah Naidu), who fought from all odds in his life to achieve unwavering success.
Although hard work is difficult to come by, it pays off for those who possess the commitment and resolve to persevere. Here's a similar story of Pattipati Ramaiah Naidu (a.k.a. Dr. Ramaiah Naidu), who fought from all odds in his life to achieve unwavering success.
In June 1904, Naidu was born in Madanapalli, British India. He departed from home at a young age to join Aurobindo Ghosh's newly established ashram in Puducherry. He then proceeded to Santiniketan, where he worked as a maths teacher. He earned his B.Sc. with honours from Banaras Hindu University in 1923.
Later, he relocated to London University to work on his doctoral thesis under the tutelage of English experimental physicist Prof. P. M. S. Patrick Blackett, receiving his degree in 1936. In order to help establish India's first radon production facility for cancer treatment, the Tata Trust, Mumbai, offered Ramaish Naidu the position of Chief Physicist at Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay, in 1936. Ramaiah Naidu worked under G. Failla for two more years in 1936 at the Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital in New York, which is now known as Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Centre. There, he installed the Radium Extraction unit to produce radon.
In order to establish India's first radon production facility for cancer treatment, Tata Sons, Mumbai, sought Ramaiah Naidu's assistance in 1936 when they were eager to establish a Cancer Research Institute under the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust.
When Ramaiah Naidu joined Tata Memorial Hospital (now Tata Memorial Centre) in 1938, he brought two grammes of radium and the hospital's radium extraction unit with him. He established the nation's first unit for radium extraction well in advance of the Tata Memorial Hospital's opening on February 28, 1941. The Tata Memorial Hospital and Cancer Research Institute were taken over by the Indian Cancer Research Centre (later named the Cancer Research Institute), which was founded by the Indian government in 1952. The Tata Memorial Hospital's administrative control was then given to the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, in 1962.
Naidu's overexposure to radium during the radon plant's decommissioning and re-commissioning during World War II caused damage to his bone marrow and the development of artificial cancer. Basically, the advice was to stay away from jobs involving radiation. Ramaiah Naidu and his family were sent to Switzerland in 1948 by the Tata Trust for medical treatment.
Ramaiah Naidu recovered from the bone marrow damage and overexposure to radium along with his family. After that, he worked for UNESCO in Paris as a Programme Specialist in the Department of Natural Science, where he developed and carried out a number of initiatives aimed at raising the standard of science instruction. In 1955, Naidu moved to India as the Scientific Director of UNESCO, South East Asia, at the Government of India's request. He served as a Field Adviser for the All India Council for Secondary Education from 1957 to 1959.
Ramaiah Naidu, a renowned Indian physician, met Marthe Mange during the Second Round Table Conference in London. They had a daughter, Leela Naidu, who later acted in Indian cinema.
