Rural India innovation

I have been amazed by the natural talent that exists in our rural society. There was this man who visited our sugar mill today, as he was called for survey of the sugarcane fields and to suggest the improvements if any in the process and the procedure to increase the per acre output of cane and also to get the best variety too. Looking extremely down to earth and typical villager, that man is a farmer by profession, earns good enough for his family expenses all by agricultural output only, had studied microbiology as subject in 1970s (can you imagine that!!! ), and uses his knowledge of microbiology in the practical day to today uses to help his fields and other farmers too for increasing their farm output. He is known till lucknow and have great following among the local and statewide officers and business class alike.
One of the reasons for that is also the reason that he is an acupressure specialist. He knows some common yet highly effective technique of healing the general body ailments through acupressure. He does not believe in ‘ativaad’, i.e. overdoing some thing, and does his therapy only to the point where the body is comfortable. My dad was having this cervical pain for last some days, and inspite of taking a full course of medicines and 5 injections too, there was hardly much relief. This man, he did, some small therapeutic exercise for 15 min barely and there was 80% relief immediately. I mean more than anything else his straight forward approach and simplicity in the procedure is what caught my attention and fantasy.
Rural India is filled with achievers like him. People, who are really really knowledged and experienced too, but never really come to limelight. Most of these people work on voluntary basis without any prejudice. Perhaps this also explains the reason why in spite of such huge population and lack in appropriate number of doctors, per capita diseases and expenditure towards health is one of the lowest in India, across the whole world.
I feel where the Indian government has failed or been short on performance in terms of health sectors efforts is not that it has not been able to allocate funds for the cause. Its that it has not been able to identify these people and take them along with it. Even if you make some hospital and there is some doctor sitting there, I doubt the kind of help that person can really provide. My dad took medicines worth of 3k, in matter of 7 days, causing numerous side effects some of which are not even known right now, and had little or no good done to him. Whereas the other procedure took hardly 15 min, not even a single rupee, and gave 80% relief. In a matter of 3 sittings the whole is supposed to vanish!!!
Think over it!!!!
