E61 - Dr. Balu - Karma Yogi Man Making & Nation Building

Send us Fan MailThis is Episode 61 and the 2nd year birthday of IST. I speak to Dr. R Balasubramaniam (Dr. Balu).  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. 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.Quotes from the EpisodeWe are all instruments of changeWe are the makers of our own destinyNation building is by investing in human and social capitalLeadership is about being present by being absentConnect with Dr. Balu:  LinkedIn | Website | TwitterDo not miss to check out our new website and share your love https://inspiresomeonetoday.in/Subscribe, follow, and leave your comments to help me get better with my episodes.
