Have you ever wondered on the way of life of a tribe? We may have moved to a modern and a civilized world, yet unaware of the ignorance of these.

Dr. Prakash Amte is a medico who left his MS half way to join his father Baba Amte to serve in the dense forests of Abhujmad, 42 years ago. The project transformed into three: a hospital(Lok Biradari Prakalp Davakhana), a residential school (Lok Biradari Prakalp Ashram Shala) and an orphanage for injured wild animals (the Amte’s Animal Ark). A recipient of the Ramon Magsaysay Award and the Padmashree, he continues to serve the primitive tribe-Madia-gonds with dedication and determination.
