Dr.
Manibhai Desai. Born in a humble farming family. He joined the Quit
India Movement in 1942 and subsequently, dedicated his life to community
development. A call from the father of the Nation to accompany him to
Urlikanchan, a small village near Pune in Maharashtra resulted in his
staying back to promote community health and village upliftment in the
region. Manibhai was the pioneer in initiating sustainable management
of natural resources for rural upliftment through the voluntary movement
in India. After 50 years of committed service to grassroots development,
Manibhai breathed his last November 14, 1993. The Baif family is fulfilling
his mission.
