Anantapur: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy praised Sathya Sai Baba for winning the hearts of millions of people across the globe with love, affection and great services. He noted that Sathya Sai Baba had provided water facility to his Palamaru region.
"Sathya Sai Baba remains an inspiration for millions of people in the world even after leaving for the heavenly abode. Sathya Sai Baba competed with governments and provided free education to the poor from KG and PG," Revanth Reddy said, addressing the birth centenary celebrations of Sathya Sai Baba at the Hill View Stadium in Puttaparthi on Saturday.
Revanth Reddy recalled that Sai Baba initiated provision of safe drinking water through the exclusive Sathya Sai Drinking Water Project.
"Baba provided the much-needed water facility even to my native village Palamuru district, and severely drought-hit areas in Anantapur district. He also quenched the thirst of people in Tamil Nadu," he observed in front of the audience.
Revanth Reddy said even when government hospitals could not provide the necessary treatment to patients literally on death bed; Sathya Sai Baba became God by saving them.
"Sathya Sai Baba has ensured good life to thousands and lakhs of people. His services are well recognised not only in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, but many other parts of India and the world," the Telangana Chief Minister said. He pointed out that the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Trust is rendering services to people in 140 countries.
Revanth Reddy announced that his government has decided to organise Sathya Sai Baba's 100th birthday celebrations in a grand manner. "Our government is ready to support Sathya Sai Baba Trust in expanding its services in the state of Telangana," he assured.
Earlier, Revanth Reddy arrived at the Sri Sathya Sai airport in a helicopter, where AP ministers A. Satya Prasad and S. Savitha, apart from several MLAs from the region, received him. Thereafter, they all proceeded to the Hill View Stadium for participating in the centenary celebrations, which have been continuing for the past several days.

Sathya Sai Baba's vision of compassion-driven service shaped lasting social change: TN CM
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Sunday said that Sri Sathya Sai Baba's compassionate service created lasting social transformation across several sectors.
In a letter to the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust on the occasion of Baba's birth centenary, the Chief Minister noted that the celebrations provide an opportunity to recognise the public-spirited initiatives he shaped.
"Sri Sathya Sai Baba's compassion-driven service brought enduring social change across many spheres of public life," Stalin mentioned.
The letter was brought by Tamil Nadu minister P K Sekar Babu and was handed over to Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust managing trustee RJ Ratnakar.
Baba's work rested on the belief that human welfare must reach every home, and that true service lies in improving lives through compassion expressed in action.
He said it gave him immense happiness that the centenary celebrations were being held at Prasanthi Nilayam in Puttaparthi in Sri Sathyasai district, bringing together people who deeply value Baba's lifelong service to society.
According to Stalin, Baba's contribution to water security remains a significant chapter in the shared history of Tamil Nadu, as the Trust played a key role in strengthening the project that brought Krishna river water to the state.
He recalled the cordial relationship Baba shared with former Chief Minister, the late M Karunanidhi, who recognised the value of the project for Chennai and vast stretches of agricultural land.
