Magsasay Award winner Baba Amte will remain the benchmark for selfless service. He is beyond any Nobel prize or Bharat Ratna.
We are unfortunate that we did not make use good use of such soul during his lifetime. Had his services been effectively used, and government supported whole heartedly, we could have made more progress in giving a humane life to leprosy patients and helped eradicate the disease.
India needs many more such human beings like Baba Amte to overcome its problems. We Indians, need to contribute and participate in it to strengthen the movement he started. We can do more if we come together.

A remarkable man with a vision.His fearlessness is worth emulating.His bravery sans the bravado is rare in the contemporary world of flashy lifestyles and artificial comforts seeking tendencies. THANK YOU BABA FOR MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE,
