I started my social activities at the age of 18. I was associated with Santhi Arts Academy,a cultural organization from 1968 to 1988 in different capacities and was instrumental in conducting more than 500 Cultural Programmes for the members. My neighboring area T.Nagar was the one that first recognized my services. My values and ethics have taken shape in Kodambakkam and T.Nagar.

In different capacities, I have served in Zackria Colony Residents Welfare Association for some years from 1980-90. I was at forefront in organizing many awareness programmes organized by Zackria Colony Residents Welfare Association during my tenure.

After retirement, I have devoted my full time in social activities that I always wanted to engage with.

Above all, I am very popular among the residents of Choolaimedu and influential  among  the officials of the Chennai  Corporation , Metro Water , Police Department and EB

I entered into Exnora, not out of conscious desire, it was an accident. However, today with good guidance and support of M.B.Nirmal, I have contributed something to the residents of Choolaimedu through Choolaimedu Exnora  If I’m proud of anything, it is that more than 46 years I have been involved in social service. I'm proud of this than anything else in my career and I will continue to contribute something to the society (through Exnora). My goal in life is that my actions have to be a remembered even after I’m gone.

Sri. M.B.Nirmal ,and Sri. R. Govindaraj of Exnora International are my good friends, philosopher, guide and a great source of inspiration to me. They have always encouraged me by quoting inspiring incidents of other community programmes.

More than what I gave for exnora, what I received was ten folds. I gained number of friends all over, which I feel is a privilege and a gift. We maintain friendship without the help of facebook and whatsapp. My friendship with Mr.M.B.Nirmal, Mr.R.Govindaraj and Dr.A.Panneerselvam has been very special. 

I have known nothing more than solving civic issues and being a liaison between the public and Govt officials.

I never viualized myself to be associated with any organisation. During my schooldays, I had never been on stage and today,I stand as secretary of the club for continuous eighteen  years, I have hosted public programmes on stage. It is astonishing to understand what drove me to this point. I was an average boy at school and college, but something transformed to an extraordinary performer later.

Currently, I serve as the Vice President in Exnora International, Secretary in Choolaimedu Exnora Innovator's Club, and Life member in Indian Red Cross Society

I convey my thanks to Sri. M.B.Nirmal, Sri.R.Govinda Raj,and Dr.A.Panneerselvam  for the encouragement they have given to me all these years for the successful running of the Innovator’s club. They have always been a source of inspiration to me. Today, I dedicate the huge success of my Exnora life to them.

I believe that progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds, cannot change anything.
