Biography
Nabakishore Singh was born on 1 March 1938 to L. Gouramani and Dhani at Sagolband Khanam Leirak, in the Northeast Indian state of Manipur, in a financially poor family.[1] His parents were daily wage labourers and though he started his schooling at Budhimanjuri High School, he had to stop it at 8th standard. Singh learned traditional medicine from his father, who used to practice herbal medicine and enhanced his knowledge by his own researches of indigenous plants. While working as a teacher at the Government Primary School, he discovered that he had kidney stone which he is reported to have successfully treated with his own medicines.[1]
Singh pursued medical practice at his residence at Sagolband Khamnam Leirak in Imphal West, along with his regular job as a Hindi teacher at the Government School and turned to full time practice after his retirement from the school.[2] He is known to have treated over 200,000 persons, using home made herbal medicines.[3] He started collecting the kidney stones of the patients he treated and the collection is reported to be exceeding 1.2 million in number; Limca Book of Records have recorded the achievement.[3] He is also known to be a philanthropist,[5]
The Personification or Incarnation of Sacrifice is a documentary on the life and medical practice of Singh. He received the Press Information Bureau Award of the Government of India in 1996.[1] The Government honoured him again, in 2001, by including him in the Republic Day honours list for the civilian honour of the Padma Shri. He is also a recipient of Manipur Voluntary Health Association Award (1999), Karmayogi Award (2005) and Dr. Ambedkar Fellowship (2006).[1]
