From Tabichi to Narendra Raval, why giving all you have will make you a Hero

“I would like to express my gratitude to his excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta for entrusting and appointing me the Chancellor to the very FIRST institution of Higher Learning in Kenya,” read the acceptance tweet by Narendra Raval.  Narendra Raval is the  New Egerton University Chancellor. He was appointed by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“As I begin my work, I would like to commit that I will not take any salary, allowance or financial benefit from the university. Instead, this will go to Chancellor’s Donation account and it will be utilized by the University to support the needy students for their fees,” reads his LinkedIn Bio.

Raval also noted that none of his business empires that includes; Devki Steel Mills Limited, National Cement Company Limited (Simba Cement) or Maisha Mabati Mills Ltd among other businesses will transact or supply goods to the institution unless it is for free.

In 2015, Forbes ranked Narendra Raval among the richest people in Africa with a net worth of 41.2 Billion. The billionaire promised that half of his net worth will go to support initiatives on Education, Health and social programmes to benefit the poor.
