              DR. NIRANJAN RAO, BAMS, M.D. (Ayu) -  GAU, Jamnagar. 
              
              It is always remained not only our desire but also earnest effort 
              to present, consistently one Barkurian as 'Personality of the 
              Month'. The team short listed a dozen deserved men and women, but 
              most of these great men / women hesitant, rather so humble, feel 
              they hardly deserve such recognition / publicity. It become very 
              difficult to extract primary data from these people, hence Host of 
              this site find it difficult to keep these widely read web pages 
              vibrant and live. To-days world crave for name and fame but we the 
              Barkurian's shy away from any sort of propaganda for themselves! 
              
              We would like to make a point here, it is not for the sake of 
              these outstanding people we honor them, but with a larger 
              objective to know our own people, their special achievements and 
              contribution to the society and thereby to be role model and 
              inspiration to the coming generation. It is said great things are 
              not done by impulse but by a series of small things brought 
              together.
