C. Govindan was the first graduate not only from Kadambarahalli Ambedkar village but also from nearby villages. He studied B.Sc (Mathematics) in Dharmapuri Arts College. In fact, he was the first batch of Dharmapuri Arts College. In his early life, Govindan inspired from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's ideology. That has earned him a straight-forward personality. His social contribution to this village is enormous to his level. He firmly believed that education as a tool could help the Scheduled Classes to fight against oppression.

The present younger generation of my co-aged brethren of my village are going spearhead to change the scenario of the society. Surely the works of Revolutionary Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar will not down instead it will capitalize the upcoming generations of my society to lead them a great confide youths to build themselves as spearhead in terms of Education and Economically self-reliant. I hope the day will be no longer, one day my brethren of my village will understand the BUDDHISM path of Revolutionary Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and will follow it.

Long Live Ambedkarism..!
