Dr. Ravi Kuchimanchi :

Dr.Ravi Kuchimanchi (Rajahmundri, A.P), an IIT engineer and have Ph.D. from Maryland. He is one of the best example said to serve the most needy people, specially people living in remote areas(Adivasis). He had intelligence  and imagination  which he thought would be enough to raise money. At that time , a toy name Rubik's Cube was best-selling one in the world. He thought, why not make an improved and more attractive toy based on this one, procure a patent in India and the US & market it? That would fetch a huge number of  dollars. Those can then be used to solve the problems facing the village.

He & his friend invented a modified toy. They also obtained a patent for it. By this time, he had started working on his Ph.D. in particle Physics

at University of Maryland near Washington. This toy received a lot of praise from many local media channels to prestigious newspapers like the New York Times. However the toy did not find a market due to the recession in the American-Japanese toy business.... And Ravi could not find Dollars. So, he came India .

He is doing a lot in Bilgaon , a small village in the Nandurbar  town in Dhule Dt in.Maharashtra State. A village with no telephone connection or even Maharashtra elctricity. Bilgaon lit up out of a movement to challenge the unjust displacements brought on by the Sardar Sarovar project and to challenges those biased developmental parameters supporting the project. The people of Narmada valley were affected by this project. Members of the "Peoples School of engineering", Kerala & Ravi & AID contributed significantly in the technical aspect of this electricity generation station.

Ravi's empathy for this movement was also an accident. His wife, Aravinda was studying literature at University of Maryland at that time. She originally is from India but grew up in US. Because of her study on human rights movements, she was curious about Narmada Bachao Andolan and Medha Patkar. In 1997, she organized a discussion session with Medha Patkar for AID members. This proved to be an extremely enriching experience for Ravi's emotions. The passion to do "something" for village found a concrete channel & he and Aravinda bid farewell to America.

Here, with some friends and well wishers have started an association- "Association for India Development" (AID) in 1991. Starting this Assoc'n. was of only 10 members. This assoc'n has developed and had collected thousands of dollars.

Now this assoc'n consists of 10,000 members, 1000 volunteers. They are running 40 assoc'ns in US, 4-5 in Australia.

They (AID) are trying their level best  in developing backward areas in Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu &  Maharashtra. They are implementing nearly 500 projects in India like electricity development in 9 bording schools,  Srikakulam, Pondur. Mahila sanghalu, childerns library books, organic forming, free electricity for poor, etc. They are also in the field of health and medicine.

The service made by Dr.Kuchimanci is excellent, we wish still more people  join this 

"ocean of service "and let India Shines.
