Kisan Mehta

Kisan Mehta (31 August 1924 – 7 March 2015) was an Indian activist and Founder President of Save Bombay Committee and Prakruti, nonprofits based in India.

Kisan Mehta endeavours to live a simple life demanding the minimum on the Earth's natural resources.

The SBC works in the area of urban and regional planning and development to ensure equal opportunity for improving the quality of life to all citizens by avoiding crowding, and removing inequalities as well as for open spaces, afforestation, environment protection etc.

In his final decade of service through these NGOs, he worked mainly with Harshad Kamdar, Priya Salvi[6][7] and Dilip Sankarreddy[8] who were among the office bearers of these two nonprofits.

Convinced on the need to protect the environment for the survival and sustenance of living beings, Kisan Mehta has assiduously worked for bringing about change in the country's legal structure as well as for assuring accountability and transparency in delivery of service to citizens.

In order to galvanise the campaign at the international level, a number of European nongovernmental organisations, led by Action for World Solidarity in Berlin, coordinated a tour for Kisan Mehta and Shripad Dharmadikary through Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, where they held meetings with parliament members and other government officials, various nongovernmental organizations and the press.
