It you want to practice well, start your clinic at metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and chennai… at least in a town ,because Homoeopathic awareness is good. You need not struggle. This misconception was broken by MLDhawle memorial trust's chain of rural and urban hospitals. Now the inception of great success at Palghar and pune, the service is extended to Karjan taluk, south of Vadodara, the area still reeling under the burden of untouchability.
