Decision Reflects Shared Vision Between Leadership and Organisation to Strengthen Social Impact and Public Service Initiatives

Dr. Bhargav Mallappa will continue serving as the National Deputy Chairman of the People Forum of India after the National Chairman Dr. S. Manimozhyaan formally declined to accept his resignation and urged him to remain in office in view of the organisation’s ongoing social responsibilities and long-term mission.

In an official communication issued on sunday, the National Chairman acknowledged Dr. Mallappa’s sustained contributions to the organisation’s administrative strengthening and grassroots social initiatives, expressing confidence in his leadership and requesting him to continue his responsibilities in the larger interest of the mission.

Responding to the development, Dr. Bhargav Mallappa said the decision to step back from his resignation was guided not by position, but by purpose. He said,

“Public service is not about titles; it is about responsibility. The trust shown by the organisation carries moral weight. After thoughtful reflection, I felt it was important to prioritise continuity and collective vision over personal considerations. Our shared objective remains the upliftment of society, and that commitment must remain uninterrupted.”

Dr. Mallappa further said that moments of introspection often strengthen institutions rather than weaken them. “This phase has brought clarity. It has reinforced why we began this journey — to build structured, accountable, and impactful social initiatives. With renewed focus and stronger coordination, we will move forward with greater discipline and deeper engagement at the grassroots level.”

He expressed optimism that the organisation will now work with sharper alignment and enhanced energy, ensuring that its social outreach efforts expand in both scale and substance.

Dr. Mallappa will continue to serve as National Deputy Chairman with immediate effect, reaffirming his dedication to strengthening institutional processes and advancing meaningful social change.
