Rakesh Daultabad is just that! An energetic, enigmatic, self-made and humble personality that can make heads turn with his stirring personality. He is not just a politician but a social activist, businessman, and people's voices. Indeed! It won’t be wrong to say that Rakesh’s charismatic persona and empathetic heart has helped him achieve massive success at a very young age that would take many lifetimes for others to achieve.
Rakesh is known for the empathetic heart he holds. The concern for society and a man of his words makes him the leader of the era. As he has the ability to keep his ears to the ground and establish deep and everlasting connections with the community. His capabilities urged him to establish a nonprofit organization in the year 1997, named as “Parivartan Sangh”. A true patriot and torchbearer of Indian values, Rakesh has demonstrated his compassion and leadership qualities from the very beginning and has proved his values to the people he owes.
The firm believer of the saying ‘the master of the people is their servant’, Rakesh has left no stone unturned in safeguarding the concern of the society and its people. Right from women empowerment, education system, access to health benefits to understanding the needs of everyone, Rakesh's multi-pronged approach of the organization has helped lakhs of people find their lost hopes.
A tall public figure with a relentless drive to dedicate his life to the service of the society, Rakesh is one of the few Indian politicians, who are striving to bring a positive difference to the polity and growth of our country.
The Government of India has always taken up the matter of sustainable development on global forums. But under the nose of policymakers, the Millennium City is unable to manage the overflowing of Najafgarh drain. Due to this, 5600 acres of land, which cover villages like Dhankot, Mohammadhari, Kherki, Makdaula, Daultabad, Chandu etc, is submerged underwater for the last many years.
1500 farmer families are dependent on these 5600 acres of land, where some time ago corn, wheat and vegetables were cultivated. Now, the filth of the garbage has turned the fertile land into the wetland and is unfit for agriculture purposes. This is the result of the imprudence of our policymakers. Najafgargh and the sarbati river used to be an ecological part of Delhi and Aravali range, but now it has been reduced to a mere drain.
Earlier birds tweeted here, now the land has become desolate. How did this happen? This is the question everyone wants to know. Even the children of Dhankot, Mohammadhari, Kherki, Makdaula and other villages are interested in knowing the reason. I believe the Haryana State Planning Commission and the district administration should provide an immediate solution to the problem.
After 1990, when Gurgaon started growing, we must have planned our needs as per the growing population. Our government earned profit in the form of taxes from the growing population but failed to invest in managing resources.
Today around 1500 families are on the road as well as millions of people are suffering from the pollution of Najafgarh drain. The Central Pollution Board is with a view that 67% of the pollution in Yamuna River is due to the Najafgarh drain. Though the government is running programs like water conservation mission and clean India mission, I think the success of these programs cannot be ensured until we clean old water bodies.
