Kolli Raju Babu is a Post Graduate in Biotech and a Quality Assurance Executive in a Pharma Company in Hyderabad. Hailing from a family of laborers its been a long journey from Cen- tapalli to a career in Biotech…….

His mother Nokaratna worked in the fields to support her two sons through primary school, but was at a loss when they grew up as reaching the Govt middle school meant crossing a river every day. And there was no connecting bridge. How to send a 9 year old walking 7 km, all alone, across a river and to the next village? But study he must or he would grow into a wasted youth.And then his mother came across AIM for Seva. Raju got a new lease of life. He moved

into the AIM for Seva Trivikrama Bala Boys Student Home in Gudivada, Krishna District. The Student Home provided a safe shelter where he was given nutritious meals, clean and hygienic living standards, help with academics through regular tuitions, and above all good values.

Raju progressed from school to college to post graduation. An M.Sc. in Biotech, he also has a Post Graduate Diploma in Environment and Health Safety Management Industry. Currently he is pursuing Post Graduate Diploma in Quality assurance and Regulatory affairs while working at Bharat Biotech.

Raju proudly declares that he is an inspiration to his entire village and a role model for all young boys.Even the elders come to him and seek advice! He supports his younger brother who is still in school. And has finally realized his dream of seeing his mother smile.
