Indore: Noted political strategist Dr. Atul Malikram has been awarded the Carbon Footprint/GHG Accounting ISO 14064:2018 certification by Bureau Veritas, a leading global French company providing testing, inspection and certification (TIC) services since 1828.
Dr. Malikram received the certification after successfully clearing an examination conducted following a virtual training programme held on February 23, 24 and 25. The achievement marks another milestone in his diverse professional journey spanning political strategy, public relations, writing and social initiatives.
Holding an honorary PhD in political strategy, Dr. Malikram has established himself as a prominent voice in political analysis, particularly in Hindi-speaking states such as Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh. Over the years, several of his political forecasts have drawn attention for their accuracy. These include predictions related to the political developments surrounding Jyotiraditya Scindia and the subsequent shift of supporting legislators to the Bharatiya Janata Party, as well as electoral projections for national politics during the 2024 Indian General Election.
Beyond political strategy, Dr. Malikram has actively engaged in digital media to highlight regional issues. Through his digital news platform Bundelkhand 24×7, he has consistently raised concerns related to the Bundelkhand region and advocated for greater attention to its socio-economic development.
Dr. Malikram is also a prolific author and motivational writer. His books—including Dil Se, Gallan Dil Di, Dil Vil, My Dil Goes, and Dil Dasht—explore themes of life, emotions and social responsibility in an engaging and accessible style.
In the field of social service, he has initiated several innovative projects in Indore. Among them is the country’s first anger management café, Bhadaas, designed as a space where people can express stress and emotions in a constructive manner. Additionally, three day-care centres for senior citizens are being run in the city under his social organisation Being Responsible.
Dr. Malikram has also led multiple public awareness campaigns. These include the seasonal #Danapani initiative that distributes earthen water bowls and grain for birds during summer, the #NangePair campaign providing footwear and caps to the underprivileged, and the “Mera Naam Meri Pehchaan” initiative that supports street vendors by providing branding materials such as signage and banners. During the monsoon season, raincoats and umbrellas are distributed to schoolchildren and those in need.
For his contributions to social change and community initiatives, Dr. Malikram has previously been honoured with the prestigious Godfrey Phillips Red & White Gold Award.
Looking ahead, he is working on initiatives aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals under the campaign #2030KaBharat, focusing on issues such as quality education, zero poverty and zero hunger. According to Dr. Malikram, meaningful social transformation requires a coordinated approach that combines public awareness, policy engagement and community participation.
