Dr Balawant Shankar Joshi, popularly known as Bal Joshi, was born on 28 December 1924 in Jamkhandi, Karnataka as the eldest child of Parvatibai – a Gandhian and Shankarrao Joshi – a renowned Kannada writer. His early childhood was surrounded by the village greenery that deeply impressed him with the household uses of plants in worship, in food and for healing diseases. He studied in Karnataka College, Dharwar, and Fergusson College, Pune and earned his B Sc (Tech) degree from the University of Mumbai. He also took part in the ‘Quit India’ movement.
