Amitabh Bachchan on Bharat Calling’s

Co-founder & Dont Give Up Member

Sandeep Mehto as “Anokhi Misaal” on KBC 8

I meet Sandeep Mehto at the T.I.S.S Top 12 Social Innovation Awards in 2011-12 .  The two day convention was

an amazing experience which helped us meet like minded people and grow in our respective social initiative .

Sandeep Mehto’s Bharat Calling was one of the most appreciated of the 12 social initiatives . You could see

the passion in his eyes and the honesty in his selfless efforts . The fact that he had dedicated his life to the cause

is simply inspiring . Being a student from TISS  , He could have got a good  job . But he decided to devote his life to a

a path less taken … A path of selfless dedication… A path to help others in need  …

I  salute Sandeep Mehto for his efforts …

I am inspired and we hope that we can replicate your success with our initiative at ” Don’t Give Up ” .

We wrote an article about his initiative on 25th Feb 2011 .
