participated. Sri Devulapalli Amar (Head of Sakshi TV Channel), Dr NK Raju ED
of BDL Hyderabad, Sri E Siva Sankaran GMR Groups were Chief Guests. Others are:

noting that HelpAge has completed 35 years of dedicated service to senior
citizens, especially the poor and downtrodden in rural areas.
Besides talks by these eminent people, there was: Prize
distribution to winners in sports, Best NGO , Best of SHGs etc. There was a
walkathon consisting of hundreds of rural women flagged off by Chief Guest. Sri
Ngeswara Rao (and I) presented, on behalf of an NGO, a cheque for 22,000 to
HelpAge.
I was honoured with a shawl, memento and a bouquet.
