This is Episode 61 and the 2nd year birthday of IST. I speak to Dr. R Balasubramaniam (Dr. Balu).\\xa0 Dr. Balu is a Grassroots Physician. His life has been inspired by the work and life of Swami Vivekananda. Like Swami Vivekananda, Dr. Balu has dedicated his life to upliftment and to betterment of the underserved. His kindness, wisdom, and clarity of thought stand out for anyone who speaks to him but his sheer dedication and willingness to end human suffering is what separates him from his peers.\\xa0
His books "Voices from the Grassroots" and 'i, the citizen' are compilation of narratives and reflections of a development expert and are now globally acclaimed. He is also the Founder of Grassroots Research and Advocacy Movement (GRAAM) A public policy think tank based out of Mysuru. He is currently the full time Member-HR in the Capacity Building Commission of the Government of India. Inspired by the message of Swami Vivekananda, he sees his life's mission as building a resurgent India by inspiring leadership in the youth of the country.
