Mr. Gangadhara Tilak Katnam left his software job and started filling potholes daily from 1st August 2011 on Hyderabad roads as many accidents were taking place due to potholes. He never collected donation from people and spent his pension money for filling potholes. Besides filling potholes, he attended many drains which are spoiling roads. Shramadaan foundation a social initiative started by Gangadhara is now joined by many volunteers who support his initiative. His services have been recognized at International level. World radios such as BBC, NPR and TV channels have broadcasted about this social service initiatives.
