and marginalised communities in very backward areas, rather than taking a job for money.<\/p>\n<p>Getting a PhD scholarship in a European university for a student in India could be a lifetime dream for the people of third world countries, but he preferred to go to work with marginalised communities rather than to accept PhD scholarship by a European university.<\/p>\n<p>To understand ground realities and non-manipulated primary information, he did many thousands kilometres foot-marches covering thousands of villages. By these intense foot marches, mass meetings and community talks, he had face-to-face dialogues with around one million people before the age of forty years.<\/p>\n<p>He has been exploring, understanding and implementing the ideas of social-economy, participatory local governance, education, citizen-media, ground-journalism, rural-journalism, freedom of expression, bureaucratic accountability, tribal development, village development, reliefs &amp; rehabilitation, village revival and other.<\/p>\n<p>In India, he founded or co-founded or strongly supported various social organisations, educational and health institutes, cottage industries, marketing systems and community-universities for education, social economy, health, environment, social environment, renewable-energy, groundwater, river-rejuvenation, social justice and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>He got married to an Australian hydrology-scientist around fifteen years ago, but stayed in India for more than a decade to work for exploited and marginalised communities. Before marriage, they mutually agreed that until the ongoing works need their physical presence in India, they will not have a baby. That is why they did not make any effort to have a baby for eleven years after the marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Many hundred thousand of people of marginalised communities of backward areas of India love and regard him, also have accepted him as their family. He left all these social-achievements and prestige for living as a forgotten person to become the full-time father for his son. Even before leaving India, he donated everything except some of his clothes, mobile and laptop.<\/p>\n<p>Now he lives in Canberra with his son and wife. He voluntarily writes for Indian journals and social media on social issues. Also, he supports ground activists in India as a counsellor who work for the social solution. He is also associated with some international organisations who work for peace and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p>For Ground Report India editions, Vivek had been organising national or semi-national tours for exploring ground realities covering 5000 to 15000 kilometres in one or two months to establish Ground Report India, a constructive ground journalism platform with social accountability.<\/p>\n<p>He has written a book&nbsp;<em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivekumrao.org\/vivek\/books\/book2015\/\" spellcheck=\"false\" style=\"outline: none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201c\u092e\u093e\u0928\u0938\u093f\u0915, \u0938\u093e\u092e\u093e\u091c\u093f\u0915, \u0906\u0930\u094d\u0925\u093f\u0915 \u0938\u094d\u0935\u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0915\u0940 \u0913\u0930\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em>on various social issues, development community practices, water, agriculture, his ground works &amp; efforts and conditioning of thoughts &amp; mind.
