Catering to social causes on a political platform

How many of political leaders do you see mingling with laymen and helping alleviate their causes? Not many, at least not in India. Having a political background has come by birth to Sri Ravi Kumar Yadav. His father, Sri Maraboina Bhikshapati Yadav is a very well known personality in the Serilingampally Miyapur Assembly Constituency of Andhra Pradesh. In addition being well known, he is also greatly respected for his life-time work of serving people across the constituency and people of the state when opportunity arose.

Sri Ravi Kumar Yadav has been born into the same culture and values and in walking his father’s foot steps; he has done more for people at a very young age. His political career began a few years back and today he is the General Secretary of the Andhra Pradesh youth Congress – a position of strength and influence.

Despite climbing the political ladder overcoming hardships, people and social causes have been his centre of activity. On the 3^rd of February 2013, Sri Yadav was seen leading a Padyatra that started from E-Seva, Video colony in Miyapur. Not only did he walk with the people, Sri Yadav also addressed the common man’s problems. This exercise not only served as an ideal way to understand and address social causes in the area, it also helped people realize the importance of social administration from a political stage.

On the same note, Sri Ravi Kumar Yadav also attended the Medical Camp at Anjaih Nagar, Gachibowli accompanied by his father and mentor Sri Maraboina Bhikshapati Yadav. This attendance also served people to make the most of stating their problems to the administration in addition to the administration realizing the medical needs of people. Sri Ravi Kumar Yadav also addressed the people at the camp and assured that more medical camps will be conducted for the needy in the near future.

The passion of social service runs in the Yadav family and the political backdrop is only a way to administer the much needed services to the people. Such far sighted political leaders are far and few in between and until such time that Sri Ravi Kumar Yadav is at the helm, people of his constituency and state can expect a great deal of social upliftment.

Eco Republic Day Celebrations

Arbor International School celebrates republic day with a political visionary.

This republic day saw enthusiastic and fun-filled celebration at Arbor International School, Hyderabad. The school itself is an eco-friendly marvel with green infrastructure. Run with great efficiency and effort of Sandaiah Educational Society, Arbor International School has become one of the premier educational institutions in the city in a very short span. This has become possible through the direction and vision of Sri Ravi Kumar Yadav who is the secretary of The Sandaiah Memorial Trust.

In addition to running the trust with creative vision and futuristic planning, the contribution of Sri Ravi Kumar Yadav to the society at large has been immense. Sri Yadav has been the President of Greater Hyderabad Youth Congress and he has risen to the state level to becoming the General Secretary of the Andhra Pradesh Youth Congress. However, his interest in politics is mostly limited to social causes and growth of the socio-economic society in his area (Andhra Pradesh). Using politics as a platform to achieve social growth is one theory that has been partly practiced in the country in the past and not practiced in the recent times, and in this context, Sri Ravi Kumar Yadav is an exceptional pioneer.

This republic day saw a lot of fun and frolic mainly related to green and conservation issues at the Arbor International School and the presence of Sri Yadav to mix and motivate the children has been most welcome. In addition to playing with the children, Sri Yadav also presided over the distribution of prizes for various events and achievements.

Sri RaviKumar Yadav feels that spending quality time with children is a priority to ensure the present positive changes stick and stay; he is trying to build the society and people at large around him to be sustained in the future.

Speaking at the republic day celebration at Arbor International Schools, Sri Yadav said “Children are the future of the social change, society, country and the world at large and their well-being, mentally as well as physically would automatically augur a healthy society that is necessary to ensure a brighter future and socially well-knit people”.

Sri Yadav should propound his socio-political views and theories on a larger scale and we would certainly appreciate if he could spread his message at a national level and in the far future at on an international stage. We only hope to have more of such upright political leaders to lead us to peace and prosperity.
