Silicon Valley of California, USA resounded to the thumping footsteps of the PRAVAASA VAARADHI
volunteers participating in the 5 Km Walk-a-thon organized by Pravasa Chiranjeevi Organization on May
17th, 2008. This event, which was officially kicked-off by Megabrother Nagendra Babu through a live video
conference, marked the first ever international SPARC meeting organized in the United States. Pravasa
Varadhi is a movement started by the NRIs that aims to build a bridge to their homeland for creating
social, economic and political awareness for the betterment and development of the people of Andhra
Pradesh.
Pravasa Chiranjeevi Organization conducted over 20 events in various cities and metropolitan areas

Chiranjeevi Organization has successfully organized “NRI Maha Yatra”, a march from Tirupathi to
Srikakulam, to raise awareness and gather support among the region to welcome Dr. Chiranjeevi as the
next leader of Andhra Pradesh. Addressing the gathering at Fremont Park Theatre after the Walk-a-thon,
Mr. Nagendra Babu in a live video feed, compared the NRI Maha Yatra to the Dandi March of Mahatma
Gandhi and congratulated the Pravasa Chiranjeevi Organization on its excellent and relentless efforts.

necessary to bring about the draconian changes needed to combat the evils such as corruption, poverty,
and illiteracy that are hindering progress to our society today.
