FUNDRAISING- FOR EDUCATION

To collect funds to educate a child as a doctor in India for free, focus on merit-based government scholarships (like PM-USP), crowdfunding platforms (Ketto, ImpactGuru) for widespread support, NGOs and Trusts, and education loans with interest subvention, while aiming for government medical colleges to minimize fees and using your child's excellent academic performance as leverage for grants.
