Satyam is a son of an Army man and while his journey of getting himself into social field he had faced several disagreements as his family wanted to maintain the legacy of making him an Army person. After all the pressure he started to do physical practices for army but where there is a will there is a way. He voluntarily started to work in an NGO just to gain idea of ground realities. Slowly he became sensitized regarding social issues and took a strong step to convince the family telling them the love for nation is not only by fighting at the borders but also by helping people living within.

Since when he joined Shravan Line and Jain Sangathan he started to live in tranquility. Satyam believes that there is no bigger satisfaction then bringing smile in the face of a needy. Every weekend Satyam visits different areas of Bilaspur focusing the matter of drug addiction and drop out kids. He meets Sarpanch, Aww and other stakeholders to get support to bring change in the environment.

He says “Chhattisgarh has vast subjects to be worked on, one just need an intention to do so."

He believes that people should change their perception of collecting degrees on subjects connected to society perhaps they should have pure inclination towards bringing the change in society. He also adds that “People of Chhattisgarh are much more than they know themselves, they should work on their skills.”
