Dr. Parmeshwar (also known as Dr. Deva) added hiking and mountaineering into his hobby in 2nd year of MBBS at Seth GS Medical College. Their college conducted hiking for freshers, and from there, he got introduced to mountaineering. Then, he covered up different mountains for hiking, including the Himalayas. When he saw the garbage in the mountains, specifically the plastic bottles and cans, he thought of starting a plastic clean-up drive, as plastic pollution is dangerous for wildlife and nature.

He is actively working with participants who work with him in this social cause. 48 professional trekkers conduct this mountain social initiative together with him frequently. They collect garbage on mountains manually, wearing gloves. They are helping nature by working towards a social cause.

Mr. Ashok read a few lines from the first agriculture minister Panjabrao Deshmukh’s library in Akola, Maharashtra, in 1996. He started researching pearl farming and is now working in organic pearl farming for the last twenty years. He took training from different institutes in India teaching pearl farming.

Mr. Ashok and his wife, Mrs. Kuljan, changed the concept of pearl farming by generating pearls through not just ocean mussels but from ponds and river mussels too. They then practically performed the whole pearl research and production and named their organization Indian Pearl farming which was formed on 1st May 2001 to promote pearl culture throughout India.

They always say, why buy pearls elsewhere when you can grow them in your motherland, India!

The motivational speaker Raj himself dealt with depression and anxiety and he even had wrong thoughts like suicide. In these times, everyone needs someone to listen to them. However, being alone was hard for him. He wanted someone to talk to and understand him and his situation. Luckily he had his psychiatrist teacher in his college who helped him come out of it.

But, not everyone is lucky like him. Also, everyone cannot afford a psychiatrist. Thus, he wanted to be that one for all who can listen to people’s problems. Therefore, he started an initiative on 5th December 2020 where people can talk about their issues without getting judged or misbehaved. As ninety percent of our problems can resolve the very moment we speak about them. During the lockdown, many people felt alone and needed someone to listen to them. Thus, he never looked back, and now he has volunteers working with him for the cause, but what is the 10 rupee story that he started altogether?
