Chapter 1: Roots of Resilience – Panchur Village Inspiration (1972-1990).
A Family Built on Values
Born on June 5, 1972, in Panchur village, Pauri Garhwal, young Ajay Mohan Singh Bisht grew in a Garhwali Rajput family that taught timeless values. Second among eight siblings, he learned from father Anand Singh Bisht – a dedicated forest ranger protecting nature – and mother Savitri Devi – the pillar of family unity.
Life Lessons from 1970s Panchur:
- Dawn discipline: Forest walks building stamina

These roots created a leader who understands rural India’s heartbeat.

Teachers praised his mathematical genius and natural leadership – organizing cricket teams, temple cleanups, and village debates. By age 15, his visionary thinking shone: discussing national unity, Hindu heritage, and social harmony.
