One of the greatest teachers of all times Dr.Jugal Kishore left for his heavenly abode on 23.01.2012 at the age of 98 owing to age related problems.

We lost a great homeopath but the only consolation was perhaps that he was nominated for Padma Shree award, the fourth greatest civilian award by the Government of India.

Two days before he passed away, the family was informed that he has been selected for the Padma Shri and he was very excited to hear the news. His death snatched from us a Renowned homoeopath, a great teacher and an ardent lover of homeopathy. Dr. Kishore's contribution in education research, clinical practice, policy making and manufacturing of quality medicine was immense and incomparable. His demise is a great loss to homeopathy.

We pay our respect and homage to this great soul of homoeopathy. May his soul rest in peace.
