As Chairman, he spearheaded the scholarship program, awarding ₹2,500 per month for two years to 100 specially-abled children, fostering their education and empowerment. His experience of playing chess with visually challenged individuals has been a source of deep inspiration, further strengthening his commitment to inclusivity.
