Since his appointment as the hierarchy of this eparchy consisting socially and economically backward people, he has been rendering down to earth services in an exemplary manner to the poor and needy, without ever minding his status or position.
Recently a video of Mar Antony Prince Panengadan has gone viral in which the Bishop was found digging the ground hard for laying the foundations for a house in a village located about 18 kilo meters from the Bishop's House. In the video that is spreading like wild fire, the Bishop was found doing laborious manual construction work like a skilled labourer along with some Catholic Priests and some youths.
According to actual information, the house of a poor paralysed peasant named Shankarayya one of the residents of Mittapally village in Mancherial District of Telengana was destroyed by a fire. Shankarayya was the father of six girls and three boys. He was unable to go for work owing to his physical condition. His family is surviving hardly on the money earned by his sons who are working as daily coolies.
When the Bishop came to know the real condition of sankaraiah, he decided to help the family by personally constructing the house. With the help of other Rev Fathers including his secretary and some other youth of the Diocese, he rushed to the spot and started work.
On contacting, the Bishop said he decided to do the manual work with the team as the diocese has no funds to provide any monetary assistance. As the climate in Telengana is very hot because of the peak climate of summer 'rohini karthika', they start the work early morning and work till 11 am. Within two days they could complete the foundation and are hopeful of completing the construction within a week.
