ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Kiran

WHERE I COME FROM

I am Kiran Uppar, an Architect by profession and a postgraduate in Town Planning from London. Since my early years, I have been deeply committed to public service, civic responsibility, and youth empowerment. My journey in social and community work began as a member of ABVP and continued through various leadership roles, including serving as the State Youth Executive Member of BJP, where I led the highest BJP membership drive in the state.

​

During my student days at KLE BVB College of Engineering, I was actively involved in student-led initiatives and was honored with the Best Student Award for my all-round contributions. Even during my Master’s studies in London, I volunteered with Oxfam, an international charity working to uplift underprivileged communities.

​

In pursuit of my passion for urban improvement, I founded the Color My City Foundation—an initiative dedicated to city beautification, creating clean and poster-free environments, and transforming government schools into vibrant spaces for children to learn and grow. This work has changed both the visual identity and mindset of many communities.

​

As an Architect, I have worked on several spiritual, cultural, and civic projects across Karnataka:

  • Panchamasali Samudaya Bhavan and Rani Chennamma Statue in Shiggaon (in collaboration with Shri Vachanananda Swamiji, unveiled by Hon. Ex-CM Basavaraj Bommai)

  • Development of Shirahatti Pakkireshwar Muth (with Shri Pakkireshwar Swamiji)

  • Development of Balehosur Muth (with Shri Dingaleshwar Swamiji)

  • Projects with Maratha Samaj (Shri Bharati Swamiji) and Uppar Samaj (Shri Purushottamananda Swamiji)

  • Installation of Ambedkar Statue in Shiggaon

​

During the COVID-19 pandemic, while many were confined to their homes, I dedicated myself entirely to community service. I:

  • Painted public walls in Hubli with awareness messages about COVID-19 and tributes to Corona Warriors

  • Distributed food kits, masks, and medical essentials daily to those in need

  • Assisted patients with hospital beds and facilitated vaccination efforts

​

I also founded the North Karnataka Graduate Forum, aimed at supporting youth by connecting them to job opportunities, conducting career awareness programs, and building a bridge between North Karnataka and reputed companies.

My long-term commitment to sustainability is reflected in the annual tree-plantation drives I organize in collaboration with NGOs and civic groups. I’ve proudly partnered with Round Table India, Ladies Circle, Rotary Club, and Lions Club to deliver numerous impactful community initiatives across the region.

​

Through all my work, I have maintained a life of discipline, driven by purpose, with no personal vices. My mission is clear—to serve society, empower youth, uplift the underprivileged, and leave a legacy of positive change for future generations.

Thank you.

MISSION STATEMENT

Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas
