Knowledge, experience, and skill are undoubtedly the most important qualities a doctor needs to possess. As is compassion. But rarely are all these four found in a single individual. This is why Dr. P.K. Grant belongs to such a rare breed of doctors.

To that end, the Ruby Hall Clinic has performed numerous heart surgeries practically free of cost.
“ Dr. Grant himself has conducted more than 8000 free clinics across far-flung areas of Maharashtra."
In the year 2015, Grant Medical Foundation spent over Rs. 12 crores on free treatment for the underprivileged. In recognition of his services to the medical field, Dr. P.K.

Prerana Deshpande" was Ms. Deshpande the mistress of her dance or its servant?.. Both. At times you felt her surrendering to its impulse as she allowed her torso to sway gorgeously; at times you felt the brilliance of her control as she changed an already elaborate rhythm with her feet. The rhythmic complexity and the intricate physical coordination of her solo proved astonishing.†- Alastair Macaulay, Dance Critic, The New York Times in 2009. Acknowledged by connoisseurs as a solo dancer of repute and a creative choreographer of rare caliber, Prerana Deshpande is among the leading complete solo Kathak dancers of her generation. Internationally acclaimed as a creative dancer whose work reveals the perpetually expanding horizons of the traditional form, Prerana is regarded for her exquisite command over the fundamentals of Kathak - Rhythm, Grace, & Expression and for her creativity rooted in the tradition of this dance form. Greatly appreciated by all audiences for her expertise in Kathak, she is regularly invited to perform as a solo artist at all major venues and festivals in India and abroad.
She believes in Kathak as means for artistic expression. Her choreography presentations of various classical as well as theme-based subjects are applauded by classes and masses alike. Her evolving body of work of choreography and collaborative productions, which includes music of varied genres, highlights her keen awareness of musical aesthetics.
" I believe that in any art form, the reflection of the artist's individuality and personality in their art makes them a complete artist. Deep knowledge of the art under the guidance of a Guru, intense training, and true passion are the only ways to achieve it," says Kathak Guru.
Recipient of numerous awards, Prerana has been felicitated by legendary Pt. Birju Maharaj with 'Gaurav Puruskar'. Prerana has also been honored with the title of 'Nrityashri' and was conferred the title of 'Singar Mani' by the Sur Singar Samsad of Mumbai.
She encourages and promotes Kathak as a traditional, pure, solo art form. This she does through numerous workshops, seminars, and lecture demonstrations where she is often invited to India and abroad.
Prerana shares her knowledge and experiences as a Kathak dancer as a Guru at the Centre of Performing Arts at Pune University and through her own institute - NRITYADHAM.
