Chennai: "God has blessed me so much, and now it is my duty to help others," says K Gnanasekar, founder and president of Nest Welfare Association at Padi in Chennai. Through this organisation, he has done several deeds to better the life of the underprivileged.
His association has done activities like organising tree plantation and blood donation camps.
They have distributed sarees and dhotis at old age homes, provided provisions to orphanages, and have given medical support to underprivileged people. He raises funds from small scale manufacturers order to help others.
Gnanasekar told 'News Today', "While I was watching a news channel, I came to know about a student studying in Velammal Medical College at Madurai in Tamilnadu and finding it difficult to pay fees. He was looking for help. The student's father is an auto driver who tried to get help from his relatives and friends, but failed. So, I noted his contact number from the television and planned to collect funds from small proprietors. When the collection reaches Rs 25,000, I will immediately call the parents of the boy and hand it over to them. Even though it is a small amount, it will be helpful."
"I am doing these services wholeheartedly without any expectation. Many factory owners approach me for good staff. I prefer south Indians who are talented and sincere in their work. I have recruited more than eight employees and sent them to Africa and USA. Now, they are well-settled and their standard of living has improved,' he said with pride.
Sharing his wisdom, he said, "Despite doing different subjects, most students prefer the IT sector immediately on completing college studies. They try to find jobs in the IT sector because it pays them well for using their communication and computer operating skill. They don’t want to choose the core sector which gives less reward for their physical work. But, in real, it is core sector that helps a student to earn more in the long run."
"Initially, I joined in a company for a salary of Rs 350 in 1989. I did my best for the organisation by sharing my ideas and innovate plans for the welfare of the company. The owner accepted it and the annual profit also increased. I got a bonus and my salary increment helped me start a new career in the cable field. I earned well when I quit as the managing director of a cable company based in USA. Later, many other manufacturers in India and aboard started to consult me to develop their cable business. I visited their factories and suggested some modifications. After they followed it, their business developed," he added.
Gnanasekar said, "There are many company owners looking for smart skilled labourers. Nowadays, manufacturers have started to share their profit with innovate workers. So, students can have a good future in any core sector more than the IT sector."yhanku news today
