Dilip Pandey – a crusader with a compassionate heart*
Born in a farmer family, struggling through many hardships, Dilip became a successful computer engineer (MCA, FLMI, Six Sigma GB). As a software professional, he worked in several countries and was living a comfortable, luxurious life with family. However, when he witnessed world-class infrastructure and civic amenities, deep within, he felt the pain of fellow Indians struggling for basic necessities of life. He resolved to do something about it and make a lasting impact on their lives.
An opportunity knocked his door in form of the Anna Movement. He participated in it along with other youth brimming with energy and passion. Against advice from friends and family, he left his cozy life, cushy job and began working for the betterment of people. Under his co-convenorship, the AAP created history winning 67 out of 70 seats. Everyday, you can find him at nooks and corners of streets listening to people, sharing their grief and joy. Oh yes, he is an MLA now, from Timarpur Assembly constituency, and Chief Whip of Delhi Assembly.
Dilip is a man of many dimensions. He is a lifelong member of UNCAC, which is a corruption-fighting international organization endorsed by United Nations. He is a sensitive author and has already authored 4 books, and the fifth one is on its way.
He started Radhika Prahlad Foundation, a non-profit entity, with intent of helping the poor and needy. He is a musician, runs a NGO ‘Muzic For All’ and a band called ‘The Fakeer Café’ that plays live music for the underprivileged.
A Finance and Legal professional, Mr. Amarendra Kumar is associated with one of the India’s Leading Infrastructure Company. As a Social activist and a die-hard Philanthropist, he has been associated with various charitable organizations working for the not so privileged, aiming particularly at social causes to alleviate the prevalent community malaise. His primary aim is to bridge disparity in the society through various initiatives on education, healthcare, livelihood and capacity building. He has been sharing his expertise in the field since more than a decade now and is dire committed. He is ever ready to implement social reforms and policy measures that contribute to the general welfare of the populace.
“Unless someone like you cares for a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. …”. Let’s join hands in the name of humanity and compassion.
