Backed by Vision and Infrastructure
Khan Sir is leveraging his immense popularity to mobilize resources and public goodwill toward this health endeavor.

Addressing Bihar’s Healthcare Gaps
Currently, rural residents often face a difficult plight—expensive, inaccessible care, and long journeys to city hospitals.

Vision & Challenges Ahead

- Securing regulatory and logistical approvals
- Ensuring consistent funding and technical maintenance
- Educating and gaining trust among rural populations
Nevertheless, experts believe that tying health interventions to festivals may increase uptake and retention—a culturally smart strategy that leverages familiarity to normalize healthcare access.
The Road Forward
If executed effectively, Khan Sir’s festival-linked healthcare model could mark a historic transformation in Bihar’s medical landscape—bringing equitable treatment not just to classrooms but also to hospital wards, and making healthcare a shared festival of life.
