Research Interests

On completing his management studies from Dusseldorf, Germany and 
from University of San Francisco and University of Washington, 
Seattle, Akhil Bakshi worked for four years in an agrochemical 
company. During this period, he traveled extensively throughout 
rural India, working and living in villages. For ten years, between 
1982-1991, he assisted late Mr Rajiv Gandhi in initiating, 
implementing and monitoring development programs in his 
constituency, Amethi. As Director General of Nehru Yuva Kendra 
Sangathan, he developed the institution into a youth movement and 
the largest grassroots organisation in the world.  Later, as an 
Officer on Special Duty to the Prime Minister of India, Mr PV 
Narasimha Rao, he helped initiate several national programmes for 
social and rural development.

Due to his keen interest in public service, Akhil Bakshi has set up 
two non-government organisations. Yuva Shakti, a national 
organisation of rural youth leaders, seeks to provide good 
leadership at the village-level. Society for Creation of Heaven on 
Earth assists small and marginal farmers and landless labourers in 
increasing their productivity and incomes.
