Bindki is also the birthplace of Vaidya Mannu Lal Mishra; people used to call him "Mannu Baba". He was a well-known physician of his time. Patients whether they are poor or rich, came to him from across the whole country, to get the treatment. Patients believe that if Mannu Baba provides them the medicine, they will definitely get cured. Mannu Baba devoted his whole life in the service of mankind; he was a great philanthropist. Still there is a saying famous among the people "Mannu baba ne nahi kaha hai ki aisa karna hai", they still remember him with great love, affection and gratitude.

Mannu Baba's son Vaidya Awadh Bihari Mishra was also a famous Vaidya and devoted his life in serving the poor and the needy. Vaidya Awadh Bihari Ji had donated acres of land for the construction of a sanatorium.

Down the line, Mannu Baba's grandson, Vaidya Brij Behari Mishra, also was a renowned vaidya. He was born on 29 October 1937 in Bindki and died on 22 September 2012 in Lucknow. He followed the path of Mannu Baba and cured many patient's suffering from chronic diseases. Vidya Brij Behari was among the top 100 physicians of Ayurved in the country.
