GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY
India has traditionally been weak in athletics and gymnastics but that all has changed thanks to the three sportswomen - Dutee Chand, Hima Das and Dipa Karmakar.
All three of them excelled at the world stage and won medals for India in global sporting events which had never been done before.

Coming from humble beginnings each of these athletes battled tremendous odds to reach the pinnacle of their sport. Their lives exempify persistence and self-confidence
Mr. Khatnam, a retired railway officer, has proven that to do good for society you don't need extensive resources and any grandiose plans but just a strong intent and will to make a difference.

Initially he was alone. But that never deterred his conviction towards the cause. Every day, irrespective of the heat, cold or rain, he used to go out with his shovel and broom and filled as many potholes as possible.
