Stories of Change

Behind every initiative is a person, a family, or a community whose life has been positively impacted. These stories remind us that even small acts of kindness can create extraordinary change.

Mr Kanakadas – Father of a recipient of B C Shivanna Award said: “I am overjoyed that my daughter has received this award. What brings me immense peace of mind is the fact that encouragement and financial assistance are being provided to all underprivileged children in rural area, without any distinction of caste or religion. It is deeply satisfying to see help being extended to people with the belief that all children are equal.”

“By recognising and encouraging our achievements, the Foundation inspires not only award recipients but many other students to strive for excellence. Their compassionate work in caring for senior citizens through their elderly care home and their commitment to planting 50,000 saplings reflect their dedication to building a better society. I am truly grateful to B C Shivanna Foundation for believing in students like me and giving us the confidence to pursue our dreams”.

Mr E Sampath Kumar,

Block Resource Co-ordinator, Dept of Education, Chitradurga District

Said while participating as a guest in the event: “This is a socially conscious initiative; undertaking it in the late father’s name by his children makes it even more special. This is the way of giving back to the society that nurtured us, which is something we ought to do. The fact that this work is being carried out in Hiriyur Taluk – particularly backward region – serves as an inspiration to all children, instilling in them the confidence and resolve to achieve greater things.”

Teacher Mr Naga Nayak,

Head Master,
Govt Higher Primary School, Beerenahally

“The Green Future Initiative is truly the need of the hour. Involving school children in tree plantation not only helps increase green cover but also instils a sense of responsibility towards protecting and nurturing nature from a young age. Our teachers and students were delighted to participate in planting over 100 saplings, and we sincerely appreciate B C Shivanna Foundation for this meaningful initiative. We wish the Foundation continued success in creating a greener and healthier future for generations to come.”

“My internship at B C Shivanna Foundation under the NCD Surveillance Pilot Project was a highly valuable and transformative learning experience. I gained hands-on exposure to community-based disease surveillance, health promotion, digital data collection, and field-based research. The guidance and encouragement I received from Dr. Thriveni B. S. and the project team strengthened my confidence, communication, teamwork, and professional skills. This internship bridged the gap between academic learning and real-world public health practice, inspiring me to contribute meaningfully to improving community health.”
