About Me

I’m Founder and President of Universal Versatile Society and Editor, Publisher of Weekly Rajput Rang. I’m working in social sector since 2005 and active in education, rural development and women empowerment in rural Vidarbha of India.
My contribution in PBL (Project Based Learning) through ‘CAP4SCHOOL’ (Computer Awareness Program for Schools) activity in collaboration with iEARN (International Education and Resource Network) molded me into well-known teacher in area to receive State Level Teacher Award. Subsequently I turned towards rural sector to initiate the cleanliness campaign in different villages, made research on that and published a book called ‘Swacchatetun Samruddhikade’ which was published by ‘Gadgebaba Amravati University’. In 2004, I have represented India in iEARN-Slovakia International Conference. Further, I volunteered for poverty alleviation with United Nations Volunteering and International Poverty center to receive appreciation certificate. Since then, I turned to climate change issue and received invitation for TUNZA International Conference on environment at Bandung, Indonesia which was sponsored by UNEP and Ministry of Environment, Indonesia. For my efforts in education I have been called to Education Project Conference at Bahrain, then twice to European Summer School at Leipzig University Germany. To raise the issues of local community I’m publishing weekly newspaper which has now crossed the state level circulation.
For my contribution in social work, I have won awards like ‘Icon of Washim’, ‘Man of the Year 2004’, ‘State level Teacher Award’, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm working in social sector on non profit basis and having low or rather no source of funding. To attend the various events and training getting the sponsors frequently is not possible so I'm Couchsurfing.
