In this TEDx Talk, Mr. Piyush Goswami emphasizes on the importance of a small action by every person which can help in curing the dire state of society caused by the 'inaction' of the very same person. He also tells about his journey of living with different rural and tribal communities. Hitting on the 'Indifference of society', he aptly ignites a spark in all the listeners. Mr. Goswami is the founder of an innovative initiative called "Rest Of My Family". Besides being skilled in Documentary Photography and Production, under his initiative, he travels to various places and meets people from different socio-cultural and geographical backgrounds, whom he considers to be 'His Family'. Gradually, realising and understanding the grievances of those people, Piyush, along with his partner, has created support mechanisms for them. He was acknowledged as one of the "Heroes of Philanthropy" in 2018 by Forbes India for his work in community empowerment. With his persistent efforts, he has successfully set up a Rural Healthcare Project in Bihar. Also, inter alia, he has established an Organic Farmers Producer Company in the state of Assam. Mr. Piyush Goswami is a documentary photographer/film maker by profession and has also contributed to various writing portals. An NIT, Karnataka passout, Mr. Goswami is the founder of Rest Of My Family, a not for profit social-work-through-art organization.
Mr. Goswami is a living example of how little acts of kindness go a long way. In 2013, Piyush and his partner gave away their homes and belongings to live a life on the road and travel to different places to understand their role and responsibility towards the society at large. This journey gave rise to the philosophy of Rest of My Family.
Piyush along with his partner started to eventually feel that all communities they were meeting on their journey was a part of their family, they started to empathize with their woes and through this mega-drive, they have documented and initiated support for various causes. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
