Who inspired you to establish Urvi Vikram Charitable Trust?
Actually, in December, 1990, my son Urvi Vikram hit by a school bus & died. At that time, I was S.S.P. in Andaman & Nikobar. Besides that within one month my son’s friend committed suicide because he was attached to a married women. I shocked and broke down. But suddenly, these two tragic moments of my life inspired me to establish UKCT.

There are so many reasons which encourage rape cases among the society. Early initiation to sex, its quite common & a leading problem in the world today.
