In 1981, When he was only 27 years and a desperate cripple of six years, who had to be helped by others around him for every little movement of any of his limbs, He had the courage of conviction, injected and inspired by his mentor Dr.Amar Singh, and dared to establish a service organisation and christened it as “AMAR SEVA SANGAM” by way of paying his humble but sincere gratitude and tribute to the Doctor who has helped him out of the jaws of death…… I could well see for myself how this Ramakrishnan, even as he is progressing with faith and determination in his endeavors, is ever more dedicating himself to the upliftment of the poor and the disabled so that they may lead their lives without being a burden on others! Interestingly, another crippled young man, Sankara Raman, Chartered Accountant with a sizeable practice of his own in Madras who happened to visit Ayikudy in January 1992, out of curiosity to see for himself what Ramakrishnan was doing there, lost no time in bidding good-bye to his lucrative auditing practice and settled down in Ayikudy to help and work with Ramakrishnan. Together they are striving to build Amar Seva Sangam in the true spirit of service to humanity. May I also hope that Ramakrishnan and Sankara Raman will go on and on undaunted with
