Khammam (Telangana) [India], July 29 : As US Vice President Kamala Harris emerged as the front-runner to receive the Democratic presidential nomination and officially announced her candidacy, an organisation has sought divine intervention for her victory. Paloncha-based Shyamala Gopalan Educational Foundation (SGEF) founder chairman Nalla Suresh Reddy recently performed a 41-day homam, wishing for Harris to become the presidential nominee.
Suresh Reddy stated that he has planned another 41-day homam by the end of August with the intention of ensuring Harris' victory in the election, which will be held in November this year.
The SGEF will organise a massive meeting with the Indian diaspora in Washington, DC, on September 10 to garner the support of Indian Americans for Harris. Reddy expressed hope that Harris would win the presidential election.
The SGEF was founded in memory of Harris' mother, the late Shyamala Gopalan, who hailed from Tamil Nadu, due to Reddy's acquaintance with Harris' family. The foundation focuses on education and health through various outreach programmes supporting the needy, he said.
"It is planned to establish an international school, Sri World School, on 150 acres of land in Telangana, and the process is underway. The school, with international standards, is set to be the largest in the country, featuring a 50-acre Miyawaki forest," Suresh Reddy explained.
He revealed that the SGEF, established in 2019 before Kamala Harris was announced as the Vice Presidential candidate in 2020, has been performing pooja rituals on Shyamala Gopalan's birthday and her death anniversary.
Rs 15 lakh has been spent on surgeries for children with hearing impairments, and three poor students have been supported to pursue MBBS. Logistics support has been provided to 40 patients to undergo free surgery at Sri Satya Sai Super Speciality Hospital in Puttaparthi.
"Last year, the foundation planted one lakh saplings across Telangana as part of its green initiative, and another one lakh saplings will be planted by September this year. A press club was built by the SGEF at Paloncha with Rs 45 lakh," Suresh Reddy added.
