Dr. B. Ekbal is a public health activist, a neurosurgeon, and an academic in Kerala, India. He was the vice-chancellor of the University of Kerala during the period 2000-2004. [1]. He was a member of the Kerala State Planning Board from 1996 to 2000, during which he played a vital role in People's Plan Campaign, a decentralisation move by government of Kerala.[2].

He is currently the chairman of Kerala State Pollution Control Board [3]. He is also the convenor of Jan Swasthya Abhiyan (Public Health Movement - India) [4].

He was the chairperson of the expert committee set up by Kerala State government to explore the possibility of setting up a new university structure of medical research and academics. The committee submitted its report on the proposed structure and functions of the university in April 2007.[5]

Ekbal is an activist of Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad and has held various offices of the organisation.

Ekbal is a follower of CPI(M) from which he was expelled in 2004 by left-wing hardliners. The reason given was that accepting foreign funds for development activities was against party policy.[2]. But, most believe that the expulsion was due to his criticisms of direction taken by the left movements in his speeches, like the one at Kerala Social Forum.[6] This speech had kicked up a debate in left-leaning circles in Kerala [7]. Such reformist actions were not seen kindly by the conservative faction of the party. [8] His membership was later restored. [citation needed]
