Founded by Dr. UNB Rao and his wife, Ms. Chaya, in 1991, with the support of 60 other professionals and well-meaning citizens, The trust was established in the fond memory of Dr. Rao’s only son, Mr. Urivi Vikram, who lost his life at a prime age of 21-22 years, in a fatal road accident in Delhi. The Rao family tried to reverse the arrow of sorrow that had hit the family unexpectedly, by working for the empowerment of adolescents and young adults.
