"Arvind Kumar Kejriwal (born 16 June 1968) is an Indian social activist
fighting for greater transparency in Government. He was awarded Ramon
Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership in 2006, for activating India's
Right to Information movement at grassroots and social activities to
empower the poorest citizens to fight corruption by holding the
government answerable to the people.Early lifeArvind K...ejriwal
was born in Hissar, Haryana in 1968, and graduated from IIT Kharagpur
as a Mechanical engineer in 1989. His father was an engineer and he
spent most of his childhood living in small northern Indian towns like
Sonepat, Mathura and Hissar.CareerArvind Kejriwal was always concerned
about corruption and the passivity of the people. After quitting his job
with the Tata Steel, he took time off to work with the Missionaries of
Charity and the Ramakrishna Mission in eastern and northeastern India.He
joined the Indian Revenue Service (IRS), a part of the Indian Civil
Services in 1992. He was posted at the Income-tax Commissioner's Office
in Delhi as Joint Commissioner. Soon, he realized that much of the
corruption prevalent in government is owing to lack of transparency in
the bureaucratic procedures. Even while in his official position, he
started crusading against the corrupt practices. Initially, Arvind was
instrumental in bringing in a number of changes to increase transparency
in the Income Tax office." - From Facebook Page of Mr. Arvind Kejriwal !!!
