Dr Roddy Evans qualified in medicine before becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland. In 1952, he joined Dr Frank Buchman, founder of MRA, and became part of a medical team supporting a group of 250 people invited by young Asian leaders to help with the reconstruction of the continent. Later that year in Mumbai he stayed with Dr Dinshaw Mehta who took Roddy to visit his two other Nature Cure clinics, in Pune where he had looked after Mahatma Gandhi in 1944, and in Panchgani. This was to be Roddy’s first visit to Panchgani where Rajmohan Gandhi and his colleagues would later build Asia Plateau, an MRA Conference Centre for the whole of the continent. In 2018 for a conference celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the completion of the early phases of  Asia Plateau, Roddy sent the following video message to the assembled delegates.
