However, I was professionally connected with his political career during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and my brief was to emphasize on what has been achieved or delivered to people and ongoing projects in public domain. Ananthkumar understood that what is seen and felt will touch people.<\/p>\n<p>Anna (food), akshara (education) and aushadi (health) remained at the top of his priority list. Adamya Chetana, that feeds lakhs of children through mid-meals was conceived to deliver anna (food). Tejaswini Ananthkumar is the force behind Adamya Chetana. Education is part of the mid-meals programme. As minister of chemicals and fertilizers he pioneered in bringing almost every essential medicine under price control to make healthcare affordable to people of all sections of society. In the current crisis, I need not over-emphasize the crucial role of healthcare.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-content-wrap entry-content\">\n<div class=\"elementor elementor-1556\" data-elementor-type=\"wp-post\" data-elementor-id=\"1556\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\">\n<div class=\"elementor-inner\">\n<div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\">\n<section class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71bc50f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-section elementor-top-section\" data-id=\"71bc50f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f76d42 elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column\" data-id=\"1f76d42\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6fe564 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d6fe564\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n<p>I pay homage to Ananthkumar, who taught me the importance of two words \u2018to do\u2019.
