Shri Rakesh Kumar Pandey

Shri Rakesh Kumar Pandey, a visionary leader, is the founder of Anika Educational and Health Welfare Trust and a rare example of someone who combines the analytical mind of an engineer with the deep understanding of human behavior of a psychologist.
Even before formally establishing the trust in 2019, Shri Pandey had dedicated years to social welfare, education, public health, and sustainable community development. His unique insight — blending technical problem-solving skills from engineering with human-centered approaches rooted in psychology — has enabled him to design impactful programs that address both the practical and emotional needs of communities.
His professional journey bridges fields as diverse as aviation engineering, mental health awareness, and grassroots rural leadership. These experiences have shaped him into a dynamic changemaker capable of leading complex initiatives such as Vish Mukt Vishwa — a mission to create a poison-free world by tackling environmental contamination, improving public health, and inspiring education-driven transformation.
