Mr. Raghava Rao Bellamkonda
Achiever's Success Story
An Entrepreneur with Focus on Self-Sustainable Community Development
Mr. Raghava Rao Bellamkonda is an ardent nature lover and a passionate entrepreneur, who believes Self Sustainable Societies are the key to achieving sustainable living in the future.
His thoughts, “Let’s unlock the potential of Mother Nature and enrich our lives”, ring even louder today as he emphasizes returning to our roots, to achieve sustainable living. Mr. Raghava believes that by adopting the proven lifestyle practices of our ancestors, we can build a sustainable future for ourselves and our coming generations. According to him, Self Sustainability is not a new thought, but, the “way of living” in our villages till the 1980s. We just need to refer to those best practices, in order to build our residential communities as truly self-sustainable ones.
“The first rule of sustainability is to align with natural forces, or at least not try to defy them” – Paul Hawken.
It is NOT just infra development that helps to build such Self Sustainable Communities. In fact, it is important to bring about a positive change in the mindset of people, to embrace Nature for living, rather than move away from it.
NSR is the brainchild of Mr. Raghava, to channelize his passion into reality. It stands for Nature + Self-Sustainability + 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle)
NSR GREEN WOODS is the first project taken up by NSR in this direction.
