New Delhi [India], July 4: Shri Ratibhai Prabhudas Patel was born in a small village in Gujarat. He was born on 1st February 1958 in Kahoda village, Mahesana district of Gujarat, to Shri Prabhudas Chhagandas Patel and Smt. Galbiben Patel. His home had no luxuries, but it had love, honesty, and discipline. His father, a farmer, taught him the value of hard work. His mother pushed him to study, even when money was short. This small family gave him big dreams and a heart full of care for others.
From a young age, Patel was different. He loved asking questions and helping others. While other kids played, he thought about ways to improve the world. His schoolteachers noticed how serious he was about learning. He didn’t want to become rich; he wanted to make a difference. That dream stayed in his heart even as he grew older.
