(1891 – 1971) 

Ishan Chandra’s son PARESH NATH BANERJI started homeopathic practice at Mihijam, a quiet village in the state of Bihar in India. He was a saintly man and his name and fame attracted patients of neighboring villages and gradually spread all over India and even outside the country so much so that he was known as “RISHI” (the sage) as he embodied the qualities of a saint for his honesty, humanity and above all his feeling for the less-than-privileged and the downtrodden in Mihijam and the rest of the Indian populace.

His patients included such notable names such as Presidents Rajendra Prasad, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. The fame of Pareshnath spread throughout India and the neighboring countries.

Research in Homeopathy and the introduction of Homeopathic medicinal mixtures in India are due to the Late Dr. Pareshnath Banerji of Mihijam, a nephew of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, the social reformer and educationist.
