Interviewer : Describe your journey of becoming a Dentist?

Dr. Chandresh Shukla : I am a dental surgeon by  profession. I have done my Bachelors in Dental  Surgery (BDS) in the year 2007 and finished my Masters in Dental Surgery (MDS) in Orthodontics in the year 2011 after which I did my Ph. D from Barkatullah University, Bhopal on ‘Oral Microbiology’.

In years from 2009 till 2011, I was honoured to represent India and be able to present my research papers in Macedonia, Czech Republic and Moscow in the field of Dentistry. Also my research on ‘Tooth Brush’ has been published by many International Journals. 

Additionally in the year 2013, I was elected as the Youngest Vice President of  Madhya Pradesh State Dental Council. I also got the privilege of being appointed as ‘Honorary Dentist’ of the Governor of Madhya Pradesh. In the year 2014, I was nominated as the Executive Member of Madhya Pradesh Health University for three consecutive years. I was presented with the ‘Young Achiever’ award  in the field of Dentistry (Ahmedabad) as well. 

Interviewer : Apart from being a Dentist what other achievements has come your way?

Dr. Chandresh Shukla : In year 2017 I was appointed as a National Executive Committee member in the Medical Cell of RSS called ‘Arogya  Bharti’, which was a matter of great prestige for me.

Leading a healthy and happy life with a positive mindset is immensely important to me, and I give lectures on the same in schools and colleges to help the youth of our country to live a more enriched stress free life. It gives me immense satisfaction if I get to do something positive for my community. When I got married I decided to invite 450 disabled children to be a part of the festivities. Their smiles were the greatest gift I have received till date. Also during elections I have organised campaigns urging people to exercise their right to vote, which according to me is crucial for a democratic country like ours.

Interviewer : What impact did your school and Vidya Bharati have in your life?

Dr. Chandresh Shukla : I am glad that I studied under Vidya Bharati which is an exceptional institution. We students not only received academic support but they taught us the values of discipline, importance of sports and most importantly to help those who are needy, making us more socially responsible and grounded individuals.
