A life shaped by service and conviction
K. Srikanth (S/o Honnur Swamy) is the President of the Ballari District Youth Congress.

Under his leadership, the Ballari District Youth Congress has expanded to all eight taluks with active block committees, regular training sessions, public welfare campaigns and a strong digital presence. He has been at the forefront of LPG price protests, the Vote Chori campaign and candlelight marches for justice.
