Sri Ramanna Hamparagundi
Coming from a very poor family earning daily wages in childhood Sri Ramanna Hamparagundi understood the plight of the poor and the needy in early days itself. As a teacher of political science his immense knowledge of the society especially the underserved comes handy in his service areas.

He took care of the patient’s medical treatment expenses by personally investing hi earnings. He lent hand during the cremation of poor COVID patients with no attenders.
