Rajesh Sadagopan proves that leadership doesn’t always come with a title—it comes from initiative, consistency, and community spirit. His work in keeping Bengaluru clean makes him not just a concerned citizen but a valuable leader in building a more sustainable urban future.
It gives me immense joy to see Rajesh being recognized with the Aam Award for his tireless volunteer work and dedication to keeping our local area clean. From preventing garbage dumping to spreading awareness and educating residents, his efforts have transformed many garbage-prone spots into neat and tidy spaces.
I first met Rajesh back in 2017, at a time when I was trying to clear a black spot where people were throwing garbage and even arguing with me. Rajesh witnessed the scene, stepped in to support, and that’s how we got introduced. Since then, we have worked together on several initiatives—cleaning spaces, creating awareness, and inspiring residents to take ownership.
Today, under his initiative, we even have an active WhatsApp group of volunteers and local leaders who coordinate closely with BBMP and other authorities to keep our area clean and sustainable. This spirit of teamwork and accountability is a direct outcome of Rajesh’s vision and persistence.
Congratulations Rajesh—you truly deserve this recognition, and I’m proud to have walked alongside you in this journey of change.
