Dr. U.N.B. Rao (Urivi Naga Bhushan Rao) joined Police Service in 1971, through All India Services Competitive Examination, after having done his Masters in Applied Geology and served as Lecturer and Geologist for four years. As a Police Officer, Dr. Rao held a number of important assignments, including two special assignments abroad. His love and attention for adolescents, compounded by the accidental death of his only son aged 20 years, led to the start of Urivi vikram Charitable Trust which has been working with a missionary zeal to promote welfare and development of adolescents through their programmes of student counseling and career guidance; and Shakti: Life Skills for out-of-school adolescents and under-achievers. Dr. Rao combined his professional zeal with his mission for adolescents and did his doctoral work from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi on topic “Impact of Proactive Policing Approach on Attitude of Adolescent Students in Metropolitan Cities” (1998-2000). He is a member of the Working Group of the Planning Commission of India on ‘Adolescents’ and member of Core Group of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and the UNFPA.
