 1965 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Public Service - Jayaprakash Narayan
JAYAPRAKASH NARAYAN was born on October 11, 1902 in the tiny village of Sitabdiara, in the state of Bihar in Northern India.
NARAYAN has stated that the use of the word dan was perhaps unfortunate; in modern usage it connotes charity, whereas Bhave meant it in the classical sense of "sharing together." Thus bhoodan signified distribution of the land to the landless.
NARAYAN continued to press his case for participating democracy in an article written for Searchlight in April 1961 entitled, "Swaraj for the People." In summing up India's decade of democratic experience, the most striking fact he saw emerging was that the people of the country have felt left out.

 1965 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Public Service - Jayaprakash Narayan
The route by which NARAYAN arrived at his present views and stature largely parallels India's history over the half century since his birth in a tiny village in the state of Bihar.
