Difference between cinema and social service identity
He said that the fame that comes from cinema and the influential invisible identity that comes from social service are different. In cinema, we are crowned for our acting, but through social service we get a crown of thorns. To accept this, it is necessary to have a strong heart. No one else can do this work for us. We have to do this work for ourselves.
Limited opportunities after NEET implementation
How the implementation of NEET in 2017 has limited opportunities for aspiring students. Agaram Foundation is unable to help such students beyond a limit because the law does not allow it. Only education can give us the power to change the law.
Kamal Haasan's conversation with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
Referring to his conversation with the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Kamal Haasan said that I told him that the NGO is not asking for money. It is only asking for permission to do its work. He has assured that work is being done on this. Concluding his talk, he said that true leaders are forgotten. No matter how much impact their work has. The real meaning of being in power is to bring about change. It took me 70 years to understand this.
