Born in 1964 in a pious family of Bhubaneswar, the childhood of Sri Pradeep Kumar Tripathy passed in spiritual & social service under the guidance of monks of Ramakrishna Mission, Bhubaneswar. Soon after completing education in B.J.B College, the formal initiation into the Sadhana by Most Revered Swami Veereshwaranandaji Maharaj took place in 1982. Since then, the dedicated service to the suffering and needy humanity has begun with the tireless efforts in establishing medical, welfare, and educational institutions in Odisha, West Bengal, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh & Jharkhand from the year 1999 onwards. Now, it is a great privilege to serve the artisans of Pipili and the entire state by being associated with Uthhan in the company of its Board Directors & Organizing Members.
