The long and extensive roles that he plays in a range of social avenues and pastures underline his unbound passion and love for philanthropy. He believes that it is his call for life to make the world a better place for everyone. Having lost his father when he was only seven years old, and having grown up as an orphan, he understood the pains and sufferings of orphaned people. This deeply motivated him to serve the underprivileged of the society in every way possible. Hence, he decided to dedicate his life for this cause.
The first step of this huge ambition was realized when he was able to incept an organization in 2010 at Gerukkate in Belthangadi, Karnataka with just 11 students. This experience helped him understand the need to set up even more educational institutes. The endeavors that he put in to see that vision came alive now as there are many educational institutes where there are currently over 1000 students studying.
He has dedicated his life to making the lives of thousands of poor and destitute children of the society to hand-hold them and lead them on the path towards light. Even though his life was full of challenges, he believes that he was chosen by Allah for a reason so that he can enlighten the lives of people.
