Praneeth joined IIT Kanpur in the year 2006, for his higher studies. Praneeth continued his charity activities for the underprivileged in IIT Kanpur and for the orphans in Kanpur city, UP.
He worked relentlessly for the educational facilities, counseling, career guidance and skill development facilities for the children of the workers at the Nankari village, which was situated inside the 650 acre IIT Kanpur campus.
Under Praneeths extra ordinary leadership, Ray of hope started growing by leaps and bounds in popularity at IIT Kanpur. This caught the attention of many Professors of IIT. One among them was Padmasree, Professor H.C.Verma. He invited Praneeth to his office. It was a blissful moment for Praneeth as he was a big fan of H.C. Verma’s work. Praneeth grew up reading his physics books during his high school days to get into IIT.
