The Trust that came into existence with like-minded individuals with concern for the
marginalised communities, has evolved to co-opt individuals with multiple domain
knowledge and expertise to help strategically steer the organisation towards its Vision. We
are privileged to have the following individuals on the Trust.
Sumanth Kumar, President
Driven by the belief that giving brings joy to the soul, Mr. Sumanth Kumar’s journey in serving society began with a profound empathy for the struggles witnessed during extensive travels nationwide. In 2016, he established JEEVAN MARGA CHARITABLE TRUST along with like minded friends and family members to address the basic needs of humanity, focusing on marginalised communities. The Trust aims to uplift the downtrodden, fostering social and economic change.
Service to society is seen as service to God, aiming not only to provide assistance but to facilitate prosperity, humanitarian thoughts, and character development.

Khandappa B, Vice President
Khandappa’s conviction stems from childhood experiences. Raised in a humble village, a profound responsibility toward society took root early on. Witnessing firsthand life struggles -children lacking education, families facing financial crises—ignited a calling, influencing him to take action. His journey across the state of Karnataka has helped him witness diverse stories of resilience, solidifying his commitment to catalyse social change.
The plight of underprivileged children and the pressing need for education became a driving force. These experiences propelled Khandappa into social work, fostering positive change. Invited to join the Board of Trustees in 2023, Khandappa is shouldering the responsibility of Vice President.
