Our Guest of Honour for today is MR. MAHANTESH G.K, Founder
Managing Trustee, Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled. Mahantesh was born
in Neginhal in the Belgaum district of Karnataka. For the first six months of
his life things were fine until he had a virulent attack of typhoid. This led to
him losing his vision. Tired of the humdrum routine, he decided to give in to

his inner urge of wanting to do something for the visually challenged. Two of
his friends dreamt the same dream and out of this was born Samarthanam.
Compassion and empathy have been his greatest strengths.
His key achievements:

excellent contribution and services in the field of Visually Impaired
