PADMAVANI EDUCATIONAL AND CHARITABLE TRUST Founded in 2005 by the esteemed brothers Mr. K. Duraisamy and Mr. K. Sathiyamoorthy, the Padmavani Educational and Charitable Trust embarked on a noble mission: the upliftment of women's education. Mrs. Padmavathy Duraisamy and Mrs. Esaivani Sathiyamoorthy, the stalwarts behind this endeavor, have tirelessly nurtured young minds, transforming them into an evergreen grove of knowledge. This trust stands as a beacon, guiding countless women toward enlightenment and empowerment.

The trust continues to innovate and elevate women's education, extending its compassionate hand to those yearning for learning.
