He started working on social projects after registering his NGO. He attended many national and international seminars and workshops on various social work concepts. One of the eye opening activities that he came across was and which touched his heart when caged birds were set free, a few flew to the sky but many could not as they had forgotten to fly.

According to him, the efforts, time and money invested by people are being wasted due to lack of proper planning and awareness. Hence, he started with the ideology of ‘One person one plant’, with the determination and promise to make sure that plant is taken care and maintained and is survived. He strongly believes in the universal fact that whatever you give to the world it will come back to you. He propagated the concept of E-Waste Management.

His final aim is to build a channel where an Individual who is socially responsible is not limited by a particular cause and can contribute generously in social activities by all means and hence he registered for an NGO that says I Dream About... with an ISR (Individual Social Responsibility) Concept.
