A well educated Amte Family in Social Service Its not easy to abandoned urbane practice ,wealth and comforts yet the entire two generation of Baba Amte engaged fully for the cause of humanity.We Value and appreciate the Magsaysay award to Dr Prakash and Madkani Amte but we solicit more recognition and supports from Indians as well as international communities for them and their work. Though I and My father are in continuous touch with Anandwan team and Dr Vikas Amte, but we are well aware and quite admiror of activities and service conducted by Dr Prakash and Mandkani at Hemsalka.We salute their sacrifice,dedication ,service and work. M.S.Khandelwal; Thane
We should be proud of Amte family. Dr Prakash and Mandakini followed the footsteps of Baba. I had an opportunity to meet Dr Prakash. They deserve many more appreciations from every corner of the world.India needs such person who shine against our polititians who show bundels of currency notes in parliament. Congratulations Amte family.
i too have many ideas abt waste disposal system in our villages...but don't have the courage to go and ACTUALLY do it. I always admire the people who leave behind all the luxuries and go and work where it needs most. PATHETIC ME...

Hello Allen,
Most of us are in the same boat. We want to do something. But dont know what and how. 1% succeed and become Baba Amte.
Also realize that any venture has to be financially viable. Even Baba Amte must have needed funds for the land, beds, medicines for the patients etc. Either have the resources to get grants or private charity or support from a NGO.
I sincrely hope you are in that 1%. I hope I am too!

Allen,
You have 2 good things about you. One, you have a good idea with you that can help the society and two, you are willing to stand up and admit a weakness you have. These in themselves are good enough. Courage should not be an issue. Please do give it a try. I am sure there must be some solution. Maybe you could talk to a few like minded individuals before making your views public. You could pose the views as not yours but somebody else's and see how people react to them. You could try speaking with some honest cop in the area and seek his help to spread awareness of your program. Don't give it up.

Yes.... Try allen... Put an effort to bring down in reality in a smaller scale. You can DO IT....
Real life is full of compromise. It is smarter to juggle your responsiblity and yet achieve what you want to!!!!!
If you think you can, You will If you think you cant, I am sorry... You will NOT.
Every one should b proud of Mr. prakash amte and his family. they have done trmendous work for man kind. i feel late baba amate should be given Bharat Ratna for his invaluable work.
