Seruds is honoured to have young dynamic Gorla Mallikarjuna as its President. An engineer by profession and qualification, he did not step into the lucrative employment in the engineering sector.

Indeed it is hard to find a Technocrat venturing Post Graduation in Social Sector. The technocrat turned social worker provides the leadership to the organization. Having the belief in participatory approaches, the management of the organization, under his leadership, is moulded in the true spirit of voluntarism.
