Vikas Kumar Thakur

27 – Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

What Are You Most Passionate About?

I am passionate about teaching, training and counseling girls and women in rural areas about health issues.

Who Is Your Hero? Why?

Bill Gates, because he realizes the value of an individual’s life, and has donated to causes that work to reduce maternal, neonatal, and infant mortality rates in rural areas.

What Is Your Favorite Sound?

Classical music

What project would a laptop help you with? Give a short description.

I’m currently working in Uttar Pradesh, India, in a community mobilization project. A laptop would help me create reports, present data, and work towards my core task of counselling rural women in health issues. Soon, I want to study further in public health, and a laptop would be a big help.

What do you love about this project?

It’s heartening to see women changing their behavior, attitudes, and beliefs, and breaking health myths by gaining new knowledge.

What Languages do you speak?

Hindi & English

Given a choice, would you prefer a Mac or PC?

Either a PC or a Mac would be very helpful.
