GOPAL KAPUR HAS BEEN WIDELY regarded for his Center for Project Management (www. center4pm.com). But in recent years, he and his wife, Darlene, who live in Roseville, have devoted much of their energy to problems of malnutrition, and to Light1Candle, a program that supported a girls’ orphanage for a decade and now focuses on tuition for poor, bright children in Patiala, Punjab, India.

A few days after moving to the United States in 1962, Gopal Kapur went to dinner at his college dormitory’s cafeteria.
Kapur, who grew up in India, couldn’t speak English well at the time, so he simply nodded his head when servers asked if he wanted an item. He ended up with a slice of white meat, white bread and gravy on his plate.

Gopal Kapur was frustrated with what he saw on TV. The Roseville Rotarian, Family Green Survival president and long-time cook by hobby was infuriated by lawmakers’ publicized attempts to live on limited food budgets in the same manner as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients, purchasing overly-processed and nutrition-poor foods.
