Ashis Panda -- a nice guy

Ashis is one of the nice people I have met at Timbaktu. He is young, has been working for only a couple of years after BE and MBA. He studied at BITS Pilani where he took part in NSS work and got interested in development work there. So he went to IRMA (Institute of Rural Management, Anand) for an MBA and currently works on a project called Timbaktu Organic. They try to organize farmers to farm organically and then market the produce.

Ashis recently wrote a good article for the BITA alumni paper about his (and his wife's) journey. Its an excellent read. I got his okay to link to it on this blog.

Here is the article
