Narain
was
18
when
he
went
to
work
as
a
volunteer,
in
Amarpurkash
a
village
in
Western
Uttar
Pradesh
along
with
several
others
of
his
age,
who
had
come
from
Europe,
during
the
summer
vacations.
An
Indian
Project
Director
of
an
NGO,
with
his
Australian
wife,
was
running
a
village
education
and
rural
orientation
programme.
At
this
age
he
got
close
exposure
of
the
problems
of
ordinary
people
.
This
left
a
lasting
impression
on
his
mind
and
in
following
years
the
high
society
life
of
Delhi
could
never
influence
him.
During
this
period
he
also
got
trained
into
the
techniques
of
investigation,
people’s
mobilization,
social
survey
and
writing
reports
about
mismanagement
in
the
rural
India.
This
invaluable
practical
experience,
at
such
young
age,
changed
his
perception
of
life.
Instead
of
striving
for
personal
gains
he
has
since
been
working
like
a
missionary
journalist
highlighting
the
problems
of
the
common
men.
