About Me
- RK Misra
Mahatma Gandhi’s words ‘Be the CHANGE You Want to See’ are the words that keep RK, the winner of Lead India, going. It was a Times of India initiative that was launched to find new generation leaders of India on the occasion of the 60th year of Indian Independence. As aptly concluded by the organizers on the show –‘We are looking for good leaders, who get things done’, it was no surprise when RK won.
With a changing country, half of which is populated by people less than 25 years, the ‘Change India’ initiative started by RK in 2010 will enable them to dream of an equitable, inclusive and prosperous India, an India which is led by people who are committed & capable, those who stand apart as role models.
There is an yearning desire among India’s youth & middle class for politicians who are educated professionals whom they can relate to, they long for political leaders who have earn their right to represent them by their hard work & commitment rather than the family or political affiliations.
As said by Franklin Roosevelt “We cannot always build the future for our youth but we can build our youth for the future”. RK’s vision for India at a Lead India felicitation, “I will spend time with the youth in the age group of 18 to 35 years and persuade them to engage in public policy and political issues.”
After a successful entrepreneurial journey, RK Misra, an undergraduate from IIT Kanpur with Masters Degree from Tokyo University & Alumnus of Harvard Kennedy School of Government, chose to retire from corporate world at the age of 40 and has since devoted his full time and resources to the issues of public policy & governance. He advocates inclusive & sustainable development with specific focus on Integrated Rural Development & Sustainable Urban Development.
In 2006, RK founded ‘Sahyog-Indian Council for Public Private Partnership’ which has undertaken several initiatives including; Flood Victim Housing & Rehabilitation, Farmers Livelihhod, Rural Employment Generation & Urban Infrastructure Initiatives.
RK has been engaged with various state governments & central ministries in advisory roles on issues of public policy & governance. Currently, as a member of ABIDe (Agenda for Bengaluru Infrastructure and Development) Task Force, he plays a significant role in Urban Infrastructure Initiative of Government of Karnataka in Bangalore. He also chairs Mahadevapura Agenda Task Force, a local area development initiative which has been very effective in making Whitefield & IT Corridor a citizen friendly & self contained suburb of Bangalore.
His engagement with BJP’s Good Governance Cell came about when the BJP President who established the cell wanted the team to work on the policy issues concerning various areas of governance in BJP ruled states.
His charitable initiatives include being the Charter President of the Rotary Bangalore IT Corridor (Dist-3190) and the Founder Trustee of Pragati Charitable Trust which is an environment conservation initiative.

if india really wants to play a bigger role in world..first of all india should strengthen itself..we have problems of corruption, naxalites,etc.we have about 50% population below poverty line...how can india under estimate these things.look at china,it has first become a very strong nation and now it is enjoying its power and influence throughout the south asia as well as in world.it is right that we are the largest democracies but it is also true that we are most corrupt country,,so if we really want to be the global power ,we should first counter the inner problems of country.in the present scenario, china and pakistan are targeting india by various ways.on the one side, pakistan is funding terrorism to india on the other side china is funding maoists to weaken india.we have about 100 districts in india which are governed by maoists.india should first of all,solve these problems,because if we neglect these issues,it will be more difficult to handle in future.
