What was the motivation behind starting MHKWC?

As a child I had noticed that the important people in my village were the doctor, headmaster (who was also village sarpanch), a vaidya, the priest and some business people and that the common element for being in those positions of authority was their education in a sea of people with very little education.  The same was true at the district level where the District Magistrate and Collector, the Superintendent of Police and the college Principal were the leaders with authority.  I decided then that I would do something about education if I could when I grow up.  Of course it was a long quiet daydream and I did not announce this to anyone until 1997 when I decided to set up the first college there.  My grandmother who was helpful to all and loved and respected by the whole village, and later my wife, inspired me to be of help to others, to give to the community, to be of service. In America I discovered that these were words not only spoken by President John F. Kennedy but had become the national culture where almost everyone gives time, money or both to community service.
