In this talk, he speaks about his experience in the field, and the need to address this issue. An event manager by profession, George Rakesh Babu established Good Samaritans India in 2008. Having started out with a small clinic, Good Samaritans now has four branches situated in Alwal, Warangal, Bhahadurpally, and Aler. He first opened a free clinic and started helping his patients by taking them to the hospital. He initiated then took a small room and kept sick patients and took care of them. Finally, it slowly turned into a Welfare Centre and then a fully fledged Destitute home.
Good Samaritans India has provided free healthcare to over 1500 sick and needy old people.
