Activities:
Sevalaya was founded in 1988 by V Muralidharan, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and a software engineer in Tata Consultancy Services and a few of his friends. Inspired by the teachings of Mahakavi Bharathiar, Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda the vision of Sevalaya was to work towards uplift of poor, empowerment of women and to provide care for the downtrodden. The organization took one major tenet from each of the three inspirations – referred to as “BGV” in Sevalaya parlance:
• Village Development from Gandhiji
• Feeding the Hungry from Swami Vivekananda
• Educating the poor, from Mahakavi Bharathiar
The Mahakavi Bharathiyar Higher Secondary School is a free school with classes from Pre-KG to 12th Std for poor children from the neighbouring villages. The children are provided with quality education completely free of cost. Even their text books, notebooks and uniforms are provided free of charge. Transport to and from the school is also free for primary school children. We provide value based education which enables the children to become self-reliant and live ethical lives. The children are exposed to the teachings of Mahakavi Bharathiyar, Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda who remain our source of inspiration.
