After living altogether 16 years in different cities in India and 10 years in abroad when he came back to Delhi in 2006 he organised DMA activities in Sreenivaspuri. In 2007 he formed the area committee and more vigorously worked for DMA utilising his expertise and best practices, Rajeev Joseph carries an innovative vision with him for the development of the organisation and Malayalees in Delhi, for that he has to shoulder a more responsible role in the central decision making body.
