Today, I may not possess any house or land, but I carry the priceless spirit of my grandfather within me: Lenin Raghuvanshi

I was merely two years old when India celebrated its 25th year of independence. During this momentous occasion, my paternal grandfather, Shri Shanti Kumar Singh, a devoted Gandhian, was honored by Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India, for his significant contributions to the freedom struggle against the British Raj. Growing up, I had the privilege of spending most of my childhood with him, and his values became deeply ingrained within me.

Inspired by his vision for India and its people, I chose to pursue a career in social work, despite holding a bachelor's degree in Ayurveda, Modern Medicine, and Surgery from the prestigious Gurukul Kangri Viswavidyalaya in Haridwar. In 1992, I joined Bachpan Bachao Andolan, an organization led by Nobel Laureate Shri Kailash Satyarthi. Subsequently, in 1999, along with like-minded individuals, I established Jan Mitra Nyas, a public charitable trust. The trust, located on land donated by my mother-in-law, has contributed significantly to the public by providing pump sets, community centers, schools, additional classrooms, and ICDS centers.

Presently, I do not possess any property or land. My mother excluded me from my rightful inheritance through her will. The donations I make are solely from my limited earnings, and I have never resorted to deceit, manipulation, or the appropriation of others' belongings. My wife and son find contentment in what we have, and we lead a peaceful and happy life. These circumstances are a result of the teachings of my grandfather, who continues to live within me, guiding, inspiring, and motivating me. I owe my current identity solely to his influence.

In the words of Passion Vistata, "Lenin deeply engaged himself in advocating for marginalized communities, firmly believing in non-violence. With a clear mind, dedication, and unwavering determination, he carved his own path, facing various threats and intimidation tactics along the way. His courage and commitment to a non-violent approach were instrumental in overcoming these challenges. His wife, Shruti, and son, Kabeer, live together harmoniously in a joint family, fulfilling their duties while striving to fulfill Lenin's grandfather's dream, as he always stressed that grassroots politics is the future of our nation."

जब हम दो साल के थे , तब मेरे दादा श्री शांति कुमार सिंह को देश के प्रधानमंत्री श्री मति इंदिरा गाँधी ने स्वतंत्रता के 25वे वर्ष पर ताम पत्र स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में स्मरणीय योगदान के लिए राष्ट्र की और भेट किया. दादा के साथ मेरा बचपन गुजरा. मेरे ज्यादा संस्कार वही से मिले. खासकर समाज, दुनिया और देश के लिए मूल रूप से करने का जज्बा उनसे ही मिला. इसी कारण आयुर्वेदाचार्य( Bachelor in Ayurveda, modern Medicine and Surgery) करने के बाद भी समाज निर्माण के लिए मैं नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता श्री कैलाश सत्यार्थी के संघटन बचपन बचाओ आन्दोलन से 1992 में जुड़ कर 1999 तक पूर्णकालीन कार्यकर्त्ता रहा और 1999 में जनमित्र न्यास का निर्माण किया. आज तक अपना खुद का घर और जमीन नहीं कर पाया कि तभी माँ ने वसीयत द्वारा यह हक छीन लिया. मेरे सास से ली गयी जमीन जनमित्र न्यास का कार्यालय बनाया और चार पम्पिंग सेट जनता को दिया तो कई सामुदायिक केंद्र, विद्यालय के कक्ष और ICDS केंद्र समाज और सरकार को दिया. अपने कमाए से दान दिया और मुफ्त में कुछ भी लेने की कोशिश नहीं की. ये सब दादा के संस्कार है. बस आखिरी तक जिन्दा रहे. दोहरेपन से बचे रहे . सही और सीधी बात बोलते रहे.
