On this auspicious World NGO Day (February 27,2026), Sheeba Gollapalli, as the G100 Political Chair for Andhra Pradesh and MDG Millennium Foundation Members & Staff, extend their heartfelt appreciation and deepest respect to Justice Kurian Joseph, Former Judge of the Supreme Court of India.
Your exemplary dedication and integrity have profoundly impacted the functioning of NGOs and civil society institutions in India. Through your committed leadership and guidance—particularly as Controller of the Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church (AELC), and your involvement with organizations like the YMCA and various hospitals (including as Trustee at Lissie Medical Institutions)—you have championed greater transparency, accountability, and ethical governance. These efforts have enabled many such institutions to serve communities more effectively, upholding values of justice, compassion, and public service even after your distinguished judicial career.Your path exemplifies how dedicated personalities in public life can elevate institutions beyond mere compliance to true societal impact.
The youth of India, especially aspiring leaders in social work, law, and nonprofit sectors, should draw inspiration from your journey—learning the importance of humility, unwavering principles, and selfless service in building a stronger, more accountable civil society. Thank you, Sir, for your invaluable contributions that continue to light the way for NGOs and humanitarian efforts across the nation. May your legacy inspire generations to come. With profound gratitude and warm wishes on World NGO Day, Sheeba Gollapalli G100 Political Chair – Andhra Pradesh. Happy World NGO Day to all who tirelessly work for social good!
