THE TRUST:

          Coimbatore is well known for its culture, scores of rich temples and art treasures. The transition from a traditionally beautiful, friendly place to a technology savvy city has become possible because of the pragmatic approach of many young entrepreneurs. This visualization was conceptualized in the form of S.N.R. Sons Charitable Trust in this manchester of the south India.The trust was founded on 9 February 1970 in order to fulfill the dreams of a great philanthropist and a man of vision Sri.S.N.Rangaswamy Naidu, by his four sons:

Late.S.N.R.Chinnasamy Naidu
Late Prof. P.R.Ramaswami Naidu (Former Principal, GCT)
Sri R.Doraiswami Naidu
Dr. R.Venkatesalu Naidu

           Sri S.N.Rangaswamy Naidu was an ardent devotee of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.His interest in man was as compelling as in God.He wanted to remove ignorance and disease especially from the poor by providing them with education and medical relief.
          The four sons of this great anist, who founded the Trust, set themselves the task of realizing their beloved father’s ambition. They had a humble beginning by establishing Sri Ramakrishna Kalyanamandapam, a community hall meant for religious discourses, seminars, conferences and other intellectual activities. Owing to their indefatigable industry and unflagging ardour, the trust now runs:

          1. Sri Ramakrishna Kalyana Mandapam – Community Hall, Sidhapudur.
