Dinesh has always been a diligent student who worked hard to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. He has been in the field for about 18 years and continues to learn new things every day. He wants to utilize his knowledge and experience for the good of others.

Dinesh Kharadi is currently serving as the Chief Medical and Health Officer in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Dinesh hails from a village called Oda Bada in the Dungarpur district of Rajasthan. After completing his secondary education, he moved to Udaipur to pursue higher studies. He used to walk four kilometers to reach his village school and another four kilometers to return home. Soon after graduating from high school, he enrolled at RNT Medical College in Udaipur to pursue an MBBS.

Dinesh says that initially, he thought he would make a career as a mathematics expert or somewhere along that line, but as per his father’s advice, he decided to enter the medical field.

Dinesh shares that the outbreak of the worldwide pandemic was surely one of the most challenging times he faced in his 18-year-long career. Being in the post of CMHO, he was responsible for multiple aspects of handling the entire situation. He says that it was with the help of his team that he was able to handle this pandemic fairly well. With the help of the digital medium, he managed the day-to-day operations, looking over the smooth implementation of the protocols. His initiative was applauded by everyone in the medical sector and was even adopted by the state government due to its efficacy.

Dinesh feels that both education and experience play an integral role in a person's life, as without one, the other is of less importance. He says that a great leader is one who first listens to everyone very patiently, then solves their problems and works with them for better outcomes. He feels that a leader must always work with team spirit and strive to bring out the best in all situations.

During his free time, Dinesh likes to read. He also likes to sing and hear songs.

If given a chance to go back in time, Dinesh would like to relive his happiest moments.

Dinesh’s role models are Swami Vivekanand, APJ Abdul Kalam, and Bhimrao Ambedkar. He also takes inspiration from the work of his colleagues.

Dinesh’s life mantra is that “Nothing is impossible.”
