After having travelled to more than 30 countries, during one of his visits across his native State of Bihar, Yateen was heart-wrenched to see immense poverty and decided that he must contribute in some way towards the society. As Chairman and Managing Trustee of "Baijnath Foundation'', Yateen is keen to expand the 'caravan' to include like-minded people from all walks of life to join this cause of transforming India, starting with his home State of Bihar. Social causes such as girl child education and public health are close to his heart, because he believes that 'education is the biggest leveller', and that 'poverty is the biggest curse on humanity'!
