Sri C. Partha Sarathi, IAS, (Project Director) A.P. State Aids Control Sociaty.
When Mr. Partha Sarathi, IAS Officer, was Joint Collector of Warangal District, Vinayaka Natya Mandali was playing stage dramas in the area of Hanumakonda, he visited our tin sheet theatre and burst into tears, on seeing the situation of artists. Due to rains, the theatre was flooded and food grains, dress materials and other daily edible items were destroyed. Immediately he called upon town donors and got financial help, not only financial help he arranged the full food grains, for each month till the end of the year. As an officer, he also kindly sanctioned a land of 3000 yards to construction permanent theatre nearby Padmakshi Devi Temple in Hanumakonda. As a Collector of Karimnagar, there also, he helped to this family like anything, by helping finance and shelter, cloth and food everything. He mingled with these theatre artists as one of the family member. As a Managing Director of APFDC, he sanctioned 10 lakhs rupees for all Surabhi Nataka Mandalis, for encouraging the art of drama, as a part of Nandi Awards. The same procedure is being continued till today. Not only these activities, Mr. C. Parthasarathi, IAS Officer took effort to highlight the Surabhi Nataka Kala, in publishing a research book on Surabhi.
