“As a child I’ve always been closer to nature. A luxurious life didn’t motivate me but living with a purpose to serve for a greater cause did. It may seem funny that as a child I used to talk to trees back in the village. I remember that I cried really hard when some people were cutting the trees when I was 9 years old. My love for nature and natural things brought me to this destiny where I’m working with a project that matches my ideology. I have a lot of empathy for the people of Nepal. I have spent much time here and explored villages, food and community. I  feel very connected to Nepal for reasons unknown but it’s probably due to my past experiences with Nepalese people. Whenever I deeply start thinking about this project, it takes me back to those days of Om beach of Karnataka, where the idea of Marga originated. Initially we had no clue on how we should go about it and didn’t have a solid plan in our mind. I was in the final year of my M. Tech at that time. I decided to be part of this good deed and serve as much as possible from my side. I decided not to take a corporate job for a while and took this responsibility totally. We started this project with a few friends and people with the kindest hearts all around the world started connecting to this vision. I am happy that our project is trying to make the life of Kamaltar inhabitants better and happy and I am part of it. I see this work as an opportunity to serve humanity. I am grateful to everyone who is contributing their time and values to this cause.”
