HISTORY

Mr. T V Sundaram Iyengar, founder of the TVS Group, and his son, Mr. T S Srinivasan, planted the first seeds of change through a vision of social service, inspired by Gandhian ideals. These men provided better living conditions for their employees. They firmly believed that the path to progress is by uplifting communities through education, healthcare and providing employment opportunities.

This mission of service has been carried forward by Shri. Venu Srinivasan, the son of Mr. T S Srinivasan. He established the Srinivasan Services Trust (SST) in 1996. Its aim is to create self-reliant communities that are models for empowerment and sustainable development in rural areas.

UUnder his leadership, SST's activities have expanded to 1000 villages across the 4 States of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh.

SST has the financial and managerial support of Sundaram-Clayton Limited and TVS Motor Company. This has enabled SST to bring high standards of professionalism.
