In the 1960s, female children in Kumarapalayam had to walk 2.5 km to the nearby town of Bhavani for schooling. Some parents hesitated to send their children, resulting in some of them dropping out of school to work in handlooms and dyeing industries. Realizing the need for women’s education, a visionary philanthropist in the area, Shri J.K.K. Natarajah, initiated a girls’ school in the town in 1965, four years before the inception of the trust.
The J.K.K. Rangammal Charitable Trust was established (Reg No:33) in 1969 with the goal of providing literacy and women’s empowerment resulting in an upgraded socio-economic status for the people. Following the footsteps of her father, Smt. N. Sendamaraai, Managing Trustee, expanded the service by providing multi-disciplinary education to both genders. Under the umbrella of the trust, there are now 10 institutions, including Dental, Pharmacy, Nursing, Education, Engineering, Arts and Science colleges, and Govt. Aided Girl’s School and Matriculation schools.
