Brief profile of the awardee and his firm

Saravanan started
Dhanalakshmi Raja Educational and Charitable Trust to fulfill his dream
of helping students who lack financial resources to study
engineering.

Till date, he has
helped more than 200 students from around Tamil Nadu get free seats in
engineering colleges located in and around Chennai. He has built a good
rapport with the top management of few colleges, who allot a few free
seats each year for the candidates he recommends.

For Saravanan, who
did his schooling at Chennai’s Bishop Corrie Anglo Indian Higher Secondary
School and B.Com from Vaishnava College, it is the satisfaction of fulfilling
the dreams of several youngsters that has convinced him to devote his whole
time for the cause.

After his graduation
in 1999, he worked in several educational institutions, starting his career as
a junior assistant and rising to the level of administration officer in one of
the reputed schools in Chennai.

In 2014, he quit his job to focus fulltime on his social activity.
