IT professional spends part of his salary, quality time on social work
An IT professional is carrying forward his father’s legacy of social service and serving the needy through medical and educational programmes and taking their issues to the officials’ notice.
Boath: An IT professional is carrying forward his father’s legacy of social service and serving the needy through medical and educational programmes and taking their issues to the officials’ notice. Tula Arun Kumar of Sonala village in Boath mandal of Adilabad district is conducting awareness programmes, sensitising students on how to prepare for competitive examinations in addition to organizing medical camps in tribal hamlets.
He visits villages and ensures that the benefits of government’s welfare schemes reached the people. His late father Tula Subash had floated an organisation called Tula Subhash Welfare Society. Five days a week, Arun Kumar lives in Hyderabad taking care of his IT job and leaves the city for his village on Friday night to be among the people on Saturday and Sunday.
Earlier, he had toured the villages in the region and found that awareness among people on career-oriented education was nil. Arun Kumar spends 20 per cent of his salary on social activities, and has never sought any financial help for this purpose. He frequently visits Boath, Ichchoda, Neradigonda,Bazar Hatnoor, Gudi Hatnoor mandals and takes the problems in the villages to the notice of the elected people’s representatives and strive to ensure that they are redressed.
Arun Kumar said that he has been conducting career guidance programmes with the help of the experts to make students aware about prospective career options and avenues in accordance with their qualifications and skills. He has conducted more than 100 sessions on goal fixing, motivation and planning future options. According to Tiviti village Patel, Arun Kumar, like his father, has been very helpful to them and was instrumental in bringing many welfare schemes.
Bazar Hatnoor mandal topper in SSC said that the awareness programmes enabled him to decide on pursuing a goal. A humble Arun Kumar says that his objective is to ensure that the youth here are transformed into highly educated and gainfully employed persons. He expressed concern at rural youth destroying their future by engaging themselves as casual workers. “My objective is to transform their lives,” Arun Kumar says.
