G.T.Narayanaswamy Naidu Charities Trust was formed in August 1963. The late G.T. Narayanaswamy Naidu’s name is one to conjure with. As a stalwart industrial magnate, he radiated sweetness and light. His heart beat in tune with all noble causes. To do good was his religion. Endowed as he was with an unclouded vision and an unerring instinct, he rightly realized that in educational advancement alone lies the greatness of a nation. He was therefore, anxious to start schools and colleges, so that Free India might have a perennial supply of scholars, administrators, industrialists and statesmen.

But it was an irony of fate that a person of such noble idealism and philanthropic zeal could not live long enough to realise his aspirations. To keep his memory green and to give substance to his ardent dream, his public spirited sons Mr. N.Soundarajan, Mr.S.Devaraj and Mr.N.Vinothan created the trust referred above. The trust is thus the outcome of the scintillating idealism of the worthy sons.
