A common agenda is the hallmark in our efforts. I am equally happy that your Samithi has been so active in regularly offering several welfare services in the form of scholarships, educational assistance (Vidyadan), old-age and widow pension, grant-in-aid for self-employment, interest-free educational loans for higher studies etc., to the economically backward families of the community.

The yeoman service and the proactive measures initiated by your Samithi will go in a long way in realizing the dreams of our forefathers, ushering in a society of equality among the widely dispersed Kshatriyas.

It is noteworthy that this valorous community has produced many laureates in the service of nation in the areas of defence, industry, politics, films, art, literature,etc. I am happy to learn that the Kshatriya Seva Samathi is reaching out the less fortunate among the community with a missionary zeal since its inception in 1961.

(E.S.L.NARASIMHAN) dü«s√í‘·‡e dü+∫ø£ 03-02-2012 Sri A.S.Chinnaswamy Raju Past Chairman of the All India Kshatriya Federation 23-01-2012 MESSAGE I am extremely happy that the Kshatriya Seva Samithi of Andhra Pradesh, one of the earliest organizations founded to work for the welfare of the Kshatriya Community is celebrating its Golden Jubilee on February 3, 2012. I still remember the days when stalwarts like Sri. P. V. Raju, Sri. P. V. N. Raju and Sri. Neeladri Raju and others toiled hard to build a sound foundation for the infant Samithi in the early years. I was closely associated with them in some of the activities of the Samithi during 1967-70 when Sri. P. V. Raju was the President. The dedication of those who carried forward the objectives of the Samithi with a missionary zeal has made the Samithi a pioneer among Kshatriya organizations working for the welfare of the downtrodden among the Kshatriya Community and helping hundreds of needy students to pursue higher studies. We all Kshatriyas feel proud of the yeoman service that the Samithi has rendered in the last 50 years steadily extending succor to widows, the poor to take up self employment and interest free loans to students to pursue studies in technical and professional colleges. It certainly is a matter of pride when the Samithi has extended financial help to the tune of about Rs. 2 crores besides medical assistance of over Rs. 1 crore through sponsors to the needy. In fact the All India Kshatriya Federation of which I was founder President till recently is inspired by some of the noble activities of the Samithi and has drawn up similar plans to extend help to the poor especially, students, girls and women of the community all over India. I still cherish the happy memory of our efforts in organizing a mammoth All India Kshatriya Conference in Bangalore in 1983. I can never forget the key role played by the Samithi along with our other organizations in Tamilnadu and Karnataka. In fact, the All India conference and later the convention at Vizag helped the realization of the dream of creating an All India Kshatriya Federation bringing all Kshatriaya organizations and Kshatriyas in general under one umbrella to work for the welfare of the community. I wish the Golden Jubilee celebrations all success and the Samithi a very bright future in the social welfare activities.
