About This Podcast

This is the podcast of Dr. Anil K Rajvanshi (https://nariphaltan.org/shortbio.pdf). He is currently the Director and Hon. Secretary of Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) (https://nariphaltan.org). He has more than 43 years of experience in renewable energy R&D and rural development.

A mechanical engineering graduate of IIT Kanpur in early 1970s he went to U.S. for higher studies. In a fit of madness and arrogance, he left a very lucrative career in U.S. and came back in 1981 to rural India thinking that he will change India! India did not change but he changed. In the process of developing renewable energy technologies for rural areas he discovered himself and the great spiritual traditions of India. He runs a small rural NGO called Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute in Phaltan, Maharashtra and has a passion of writing articles on spirituality and rural development. His articles have been published in Times of India (Speaking Tree); Huffington Post and Thrive Global, South Asia Monitor and syndicated in various other News lines. He has 5 books to his credit and has written more than 250 articles on rural and sustainable development including the interface of spirituality and technology. He is passionate about teaching youngsters and gives inspirational lectures all over India and some abroad. His mantra is Spirituality + Technology = Happiness and lives in a simple and holistic way in rural India.
