Medha Patkar
 Simple living and high thinking is certainly the philosophy of Medha Patkar. Acquiring degrees in social work is about qualification and yet putting it into practice seems to be much about grit and gumption to face the challenges that are posed. Medha Patkar is actually famous for standing up for the rights of people who were deprived of their livelihood in the villages close to Narmada river.
The Narmada Bachao Andolan took a mega culture while Medha Patkar stood affirm with her fight to protect the rights of the villages. The dam was to be raised and Medha Patkar organized a total confrontation to oppose this happening. Through hunger strikes, slogans and awareness such a great feat was accomplished. The life of a social worker is never easy and she also bore the ridicule of people regarding the committee receiving external funding.
A student of TISS and with an incomplete PHD Medha Patkar does not need any more academic recognition. Her simple self is quite an inspiration to a commoner and she is known for her stoic courage to bear the onslaughts of taking up a cause.
