Prevalence of malnutrition and undernutrition among children in North Karnataka so disturbed Basaiah Hiremath, who was working as a tech professional in the US, that he returned to Koppal and launched a mission against it

- RAGHOTTAM KOPPAR @ Koppal

His techie from Koppal quit his cushy job abroad for a noble cause – to combat malnutrition among children in North Karnataka, which is still considered economically backward.

Born in Budagumpa village of Karatagi taluk in Koppal district, Basaiah Hiremath, a BSc computer science and post-diploma (digital communication engineering) graduate, worked with software companies such as Infosys, Cisco, Cloud Host Technologies, and Embrix Technologies in Bengaluru for a few years before moving to the US in 1998.

On a Sunday morning in 2000, Hiremath came across reports about malnutrition and undernutrition among children in his home district of Koppal when he was browsing the internet in Seattle, US. Moved by this, he decided to help people of this backward region fight malnutrition.
