History and Founding

[edit]

The Sudheekshan Foundation is a Non- Profit, Secular Humanitarian Social Service Organization. It was established in the name of a young boy, Chigurupati Sudheekshan, who lost his life in a road accident without fulfilling his dreams at the tender age of 20. The accident occurred on November 3 at 9 a.m. while he was going to his college from Kankipadu to Vijayawada Way in Kanuru, near the engineering college. He struggled for six days to survive and took his last breath on November 8, 2006. This tragic incident led to the formation of the foundation in memory of this young Sudheekshan.

Chigurupati Vimala, mother of this boy, in her unbearable grief, left her teaching profession and formed the social service Organization in the name of her beloved son as the "Sudheekshan Foundation" on the 10th day of the boy’s demise to dedicate her remaining life to social service for serving the poor and needy in all aspects. She is the founder and president of the foundation. This foundation has seven executive committee members.

The Sudheekshan Foundation was registered on November 18th, 2006, under the A.P. Society Registration Act 35 of 2001, at the District Registrar Office, Vijayawada, NTR District, and Andhra Pradesh to spread its activities all over India. Registered Number is 515/ 2006.

The Sudheekshan Foundation was officially inaugurated on January 8, 2007, in the conference hall of the Civil Courts in Vijayawada. The foundation’s main aim is to create lasting changes in society for road safety, health, education, humanity, and empowerment sectors. The foundation’s vision is to create a healthy happy safety knowledgeable society.Times of India – By giving hope to accident victims

She resigned from her teaching job to devote herself full-time to social service. The foundation was registered under the A.P. Societies Registration Act 35 of 2001 with registration number 515/2006. The organization was officially inaugurated on January 8, 2007, at the Civil Courts Conference Hall in Vijayawada.

About CHIGURUPATI SUDHEEKSHAN

[edit]

Sudheekshan was the second child and the only son in his family. Raised in an educational environment, he completed his schooling at the school run by his mother and later pursued higher studies in computer science, physics, and electronics. Deeply passionate about software programming, he dreamed of becoming a great software developer and establishing a technology center.

On November 1, 2006, he joined a software training institute in Vijayawada. Just two days later, on November 3, while commuting by motorbike, he met with a tragic road accident near Kanuru village. Despite wearing a helmet, he sustained severe internal head injuries due to a negligent, drunken truck driver. Inconsistent hospital care and delays in treatment led to his passing on November 8, 2006.

His mother, Chigurupati Vimala, in her grief, founded the Sudheekshan Foundation to continue his dream and contribute to society.New Indian Express – Turning grief into hope

About Founder

Smt. Chigurupati Vimala, born in Unduru village, East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, completed her post-graduation in Public Administration from Nagarjuna University and teacher training in Hyderabad. With a passion for service, she started a school in Kankipadu in 1982, offering free education to thousands of rural children up to the 10th grade.
