New knowledge gives us power for change: for good or ill, for knowledge is neutral. The problems we face go well beyond technology: problems of living in harmony with nature, and most important, living in harmony with each other. Information technology, so closely tied to the properties of the human mind, can give us, if we ask the right questions, the special insights we need to advance these goals.” Herbert Simon , 1916 – 2001 Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1978 7 Preface Technology remains as the fountainhead for human development and economic growth.

The step you contemplate should help him!" - Mahatma Gandhi About SEARCH Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health (SEARCH) is a voluntary organization working in rural and tribal regions of Gadchiroli district, Maharashtra. Gadchiroli district is situated on the eastern border of Maharashtra, bordering Chhattisgarh in the east and Andhra Pradesh in the south. The district headquarter, Gadchiroli, is about 175 km south of the nearest city Nagpur. Gadchiroli is one of the poorest and least developed districts in India.

The problem is compounded by the emergence of Maoist movement. Inspired by the social philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, Drs. Abhay and Rani Bang founded SEARCH in 1986 after completing their public health training at Johns Hopkins University, USA.
