Unlike many in the medical profession who prioritize profit, Dr. Singh was never a mere businessman. He dedicated his life to serving humanity, ensuring his clinic doors were open 24/7 without any preconditions or ego-related barriers. His practice in Haidernagar was legendary, with a nominal fee of just ₹5. Many days, he would see over a hundred patients, with at least half receiving free consultations. He treated patients from villages and rural areas with immense care, often refusing any payment. His commitment extended to other areas like Ramna and Nagar Untari, where he provided similar selfless service. Even after moving to Daltonganj due to declining health and age, patients continued to seek his expertise. When a private hospital requested his services, he insisted on maintaining his ₹5 fee, a testament to his unwavering principles. Though eventually persuaded to accept ₹50 due to hospital operational concerns, his core mission remained unchanged. Born in a modest family in Murma village, Dr. Singh deeply understood the struggles of the poor, having experienced financial hardships himself during his education. He valued relationships and never considered charging his own community. His simple lifestyle and unassuming demeanor made it hard to believe he was a doctor. Dr. Surendra Singh truly embodied the divine qualities often attributed to physicians, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those he served.

Dr. Singh was not merely a doctor but a humanitarian, dedicated to serving the less fortunate without seeking exorbitant profits. His clinic doors were always open, offering medical aid 24/7, irrespective of a patient’s financial status. Unlike many practitioners today who charge thousands, Dr. Singh famously charged a mere ₹5 for consultations, and often treated patients for free, especially those from rural areas. He never pressured patients into unnecessary tests or procedures, a stark contrast to the anxieties many face when seeking medical attention. For decades, he served communities in Haidernagar, Ramna, and Nagar Untari, embodying a spirit of selfless service. Even when relocating to Daltonganj and joining a private hospital, he insisted on maintaining his ₹5 fee, only reluctantly agreeing to ₹50 under pressure from the hospital administration. Born into a humble family, Dr. Singh deeply understood the struggles of poverty, making his dedication to affordable healthcare even more profound. His simple lifestyle and genuine care for his patients reflected the true essence of the divine healer, earning him the title ‘God on Earth’ among the people he served.
