Dr. Ravindra Koelhe, MD, resides and runs a clinic in Melghat, Maharashtra. He is one such doctor accessible by people from all sections as he charge a consultation fee of just 2 for the first consultation and 1 for the second.

Not only is he a doctor and social worker, Dr.Koelhe has also taken the government to court for having failed in its duty to protect the Korku tribals of the region.
