For the society
Dr. Praveen is the guiding force behind launching a payback movement called ‘Swaeroes” (‘SW’ means State Welfare; ‘aero’ means air and sky is the limit). Today all students of Social Welfare and Tribal Welfare Schools are proud to have the suffix of Swaero to their names and usage of words, Dalit is not encouraged in Swaeroes ideology.
Dr. Praveen introduced the Ten Commandments and all the Swaeroes take oath every day to reaffirm their commitment to the observance of the commandments in their lives. Dr. Praveen often exhorts to the underprivileged students: “We are not inferior to others and we should not seek sympathy. Only sky should be our limit”.
RSP deeply believes that constitutional morality and rights based public policies are very important to ensure that everyone in this country leads a self-reliant and dignified life.
His actions embed a deep sense of constitutional morality as professed by Dr BR Ambedkar and pragmatic realism of Kanshiram. An illustration of this can be evident from his work as the Secretary for Telangana Welfare Institutions where he successfully experimented with ‘quality education as an instrument for making younger generations achieve socio-economic liberty in the face of all forms of exclusion.
For the first time in the State of Telangana, RSP led an establishment of Welfare Degree Colleges for Women and Men from the marginalized communities. His vision follows a principle of “don’t give the fish, teach how to fish”. This implies to enable self-reliance, progressive, and resilience among the downtrodden and other religious minority sections in Telangana. To achieve these objectives, five key sectors would be focused during the Bahujan Rule in the State.
Five sectors for development
Quality Education and Socio-economic Empowerment
Health and Well-being of All
Development of the Youth, Skills and Women Entrepreneurship
Political empowerment through proportional representation and accountable self-governance across all levels.
