Ekal Abhiyan announced the appointment of Indian American Ramesh Shah as the organisation’s chief executive officer, India West reported.

Ekal Abhiyan is an umbrella body of Ekal branchlets. Shah, the former president and chairman of Ekal-USA, took charge from Bajrang Bagra.

“What makes this a historic moment is the fact that he is the first Indian American who rose from a foot-soldier level to this distinctive honor, whose sole focus and establishment is not the U.S., but rural India,” news release of Ekal Abhiyan said.

A founding member of Ekal-USA, Shah is credited with building a modest one-teacher-school project, over three decades ago, into a national brand in the U.S. for selfless social work, with over 60 widespread chapters in U.S., Canada and beyond.

Ramesh Shah will preside over ‘Future of India’ virtual programme on November 13. Kamlesh Shah and Mohan Wanchoo will co-chair the programme.
