In a world driven by selfish interests and agendas, Dr Krishan Kumar Jha, a proud Bihari entrepreneur by profession, who sold his last company to a Fortune 500 group & a social activist by passion, is quite an exception. He has, for years, been engaged in social work for the upliftment of the marginalized & forgotten members of the Indian society. His generosity is unmatched and his dedication to the cause of philanthropy is unprecedented. As the founder of SSD Corporate, Fund4U, venture capital & private equity company, Dr. Krishan Kumar is providing job opportunities as well as funds to budding Indian entrepreneurs and organizations. And as a social activist, he is constantly striving to generate more employment for the downtrodden youth, who want to complete their education and build a career. In fact, Dr. Kumar has also done tremendous work in promoting Mithila or Madhubani paintings and alleviating the issues concerning the Madhubani artists.
Dr. Krishan Kumar belongs to a family lineage of honest & dedicated persons, many of whom serve the country in different capacities, including as successful bureaucrats. As a testimony to his amazing contribution to the society, he has now been recommended for the prestigious Padma Shri Awards 2021, by noted political personalities, social activists and multitude of regional & national leaders across India. He has been recommended for the national honor because of his outstanding task of building world's first NGO aggregator ACTF during these testing times in the world.
Kumar didn’t stop his campaign against poverty and illiteracy even during the COVID-19 lockdown. In fact, he went a step ahead and founded the ACTF, an organization reaching out to the needy sections of the society, especially in the rural areas, who have lost their jobs and cannot fend for their families. Speaking about his association with ACTF, Kumar says, “ACTF is one of the most innovative concepts to be implemented in rural India. Villagers are, by nature, a disciplined lot and they are already following social distancing and other rules necessary to avoid Corona outbreak. However, they are in crisis because of lack of livelihood opportunities. Therefore, it is my pleasure that I am able to supply them with food, medicines and other supplies during these difficult times.” He also emphasized upon the key mantra of ACTF, i.e., “Innovation of Hardship.” In fact, Dr Krishan Kumar is spearheading multiple campaigns as part of this anti-corona organization. Some of these are “Lockdown Baccha Think Tank, Chakho Sashakt Khana Campaign, and City Frontline Warriors.”
While recommending Dr Kumar for this national honor, multiple honorable dignitaries publicity stated on digital platform with all consent that “we have known Dr. Krishan Kumar since many years and have seen him engaging in social work for the marginalized and forgotten sectors of the society. He has been instrumental in planning, designing and executing Anti Corona Task Force (also known as ACTF), world's first NGO aggregator by facts. Being a founding member of ACTF, he has offered all kinds of help from food to basic medicines and education, to the needy and underprivileged. Currently, he is associated with many philanthropy works and is constantly helping the youth by generating thousands of jobs for them. He is also providing assistance to the deserving students so that they can complete higher education and find a niche in life. At the same time, he finds time to focus on sports to reward as well as support brilliant performers so that they can do even better in the national and international arenas.”
People who know him call Kumar a self-made man who lifted his business venture from ground zero to the skies. From having to pay a huge debt overhead, Krishan Kumar invested his time and hard work into investing into ground-breaking real estate ventures and generated enough capital to complete his journey from being an employee to an employer to hundreds of Indians.
