I am Umesh Kate, a passionate social leader dedicated to building stronger, more connected communities. Through PLESCO, an annual sports and cultural event I founded, I aim to bring people together, celebrate diversity, and nurture talent.

My journey began with a simple vision—to create a platform where individuals from all walks of life can come together and grow. PLESCO is more than just an event; it’s a movement that fosters unity, leadership, and cultural pride. Every year, I see the power of sports and culture in inspiring youth and strengthening social bonds.

I believe real change begins at the grassroots, and that’s where I focus my efforts. With the support of volunteers and local leaders, I continue to expand PLESCO’s reach and impact. My goal is to empower the next generation with opportunities to lead, perform, and connect. Community development, to me, means creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. I’m proud to lead this journey and excited about the future we’re building together through PLESCO.
