In an inspiring testament to the power of compassion and dedicated activism, Jeevan Sagar, the visionary behind the JeevaMadhu Foundation, has been honored with the prestigious Brand Icon of The Year 2023 award in the esteemed Best Social Activist category. This recognition highlights his unwavering commitment to catalyzing positive change in society.
In an exclusive interview following the awards ceremony, Jeevan Sagar humbly expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am deeply honored to receive this award, and I share this recognition with every member of the JeevaMadhu Foundation. Their dedication and relentless efforts have been the driving force behind the success of our NGO.”
Reflecting on his journey, Jeevan emphasized the significance of collective action. “I firmly believe that anyone can make a difference in society. All it takes is a compassionate heart and the willingness to take that first step. I have played my part, and I am committed to continuing this journey.”
When the topic of donations arose, Jeevan revealed an intriguing facet of the JeevaMadhu Foundation’s success. “Up until now, we have sustained our initiatives without any external donations. I, along with a few dedicated trustees, have been contributing a portion of our salaries every month to support our projects. This self-sustaining model has helped us progress remarkably.”
However, with their sights set on more expansive programs and a broader impact, Jeevan announced a change in approach. “As we aim to reach even more individuals and communities, we will begin accepting donations. Of course, this will be done in full compliance with all the requisite government approvals and regulations. JeevaMadhu Foundation is committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency and accountability.”
Dispelling recent rumors, Jeevan firmly stated his intentions. “I want to clarify that I have no plans to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections. My priority lies in serving society through the medium of our foundation. While I am dedicated to our cause, I am also part of a middle-class family and must take care of my own livelihood.”
Jeevan Sagar’s story is a testament to the transformative power of individual action and the profound impact it can have on society. As he continues to champion positive change, his journey serves as an inspiration for others to recognize their potential to create a brighter future. The Brand Icon of The Year award is not just a recognition of his achievements; it is a celebration of the relentless spirit of compassion and dedication that drives Jeevan and the entire JeevaMadhu Foundation.
