INSPIRATION FOR SOCIAL ACTIVITY

Rahul had keen interest in the field of Research since his childhood. His light & playful early days turned into more serious and determined existence with passage of time.

Analyzing his deprived life of past 24 years Rahul had taken decision to help needy and destitute people like him.

Once, Rahul was in Aminabad, Lucknow, being a blind man he asked people around to help him cross the road but no one turned on then one man came forward to help him and both unfortunately met with an accident.  When Rahul came to know that the kind person who helped him was already handicapped, he got deeply affected by the whole incident which made him more determined to help the needy such as orphans, handicapped, aged person, widow, poor and deprived people.

For serving the society he then established his social work organization “Rashriya Samaj Evam Dharmarth Sewa Sansthan” in Ghaziabad with the vision “MANAV SEWA HI MADHAV SEWA HAI”.
