Recently, legendary footballer David Beckham visited India as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, advocating for gender equality and girls’ empowerment. His journey from sporting stardom to social change mirrors IAS officer Hari Chandana’s path – from a bureaucrat driving rural transformation through initiatives like #LakeRejuvenation, #DigitalLiteracy and #WasteRecycling. Despite different domains, Beckham and Chandana showcase uplifting communities through strategic empowerment.

Like Beckham stressing education access, Chandana has facilitated #BicycleDistribution enabling rural girls’ school commute. Calling for youth skills building, Chandana established #EarlyCoding classes for digital readiness. #RoleModels #SheInspiresUs
