Some people devote their life to help communities, animals, trees, climate. Its not their job. Its their passion.

Within these people, we have social greats whose work has or had great impact.

Some may be highly educated but social work is their priority. Some greats have not even gone to school, but their help started with just few but over the years, it had great impact.

We are sharing such social greats and though we know that any democratic country is governed by politicians, we will not take any individual who is from any political party or to does antigovernment activism ...
