A Tale Of 10 Indians With Extraordinary Caliber

9. P Kalayanasundaram, The best Librarian in India:

R.M. Rajarathinam , during his 35-year-career as a librarian at the Kumarkurupara Arts College at Srivaikuntam in Tuticorin district, donated all his salary for charity. On the other hand, to meet his basic needs, this man did odd jobs. After his death, he has also donated parts of his organs like body and eyes to the Tirunelveli Medical College. The Government of India has applauded him as “The Best Librarian in India.” Rajarathinam has also been chosen as ‘one of the top ten librarians of the world.’ He is also conferred with many titles and awards outside the country.

10. Dr. Verghese Kurien, “Father of the White Revolution”:

Verghese Kurien was a legend in his lifetime for building a cooperative movement that transformed the lives of poor farmers while making India self-reliant in milk production. As such, he is best known as the “Father of the White Revolution,” for his ‘billion-litre idea’ or Operation Flood (the world’s biggest agricultural development programme). Later on, he also made the country self-sufficient in edible oils, taking head-on the powerful and entrenched oil supplying lobby. He is hailed as the “Milkman of India”. Kurien won numerous awards including the Padma Vibhushan, the World Food Prize and the Magsaysay Award for community leadership. He passed away in September 2012.
