enormous growth is the result of the support extended by all the Senior citizens, Staff, Parents and Students.
|
|
The future vision of the Trust is to establish a world class SSM Residential School, having Classes
from VI to XII, to serve the economically backward students, totally at free of cost. The Trust owns 80 acres of land at Tirunelveli
for this purpose and the Institution will come into existence at the earliest. The proposed Residential School at its full
strength will have 3024 Students. The Trust will help these students to pursue their higher studies on vocational courses in ITI / Polytechnic Colleges,
Arts and Science Colleges / Professional Courses, depending upon their academic performance level and support them till they become independent.

The Trust has plans to start a World Class "SSM General Hospital and Medical College" with state-of-the-Art facilities at Perungalathur, Chennai - 600063,
within the next few years, in an area of 20 acres of land and provide excellent medical facilities to the poor and the needy at an
affordable cost. The MBBS seats in the command of the Trust, in compliance with the Government rules, will be allotted to the brilliant students, without
collecting any capitation or donation, in any form. We are well aware that we are only a drop in the Ocean.

God should bless us to achieve the above goals. The Trustees dedicate their entire life for the cause of Education and Service to humanity at large.

|
 |
K.Santhanam M.A., M.Ed. |
Managing Trustee |
|
Sri. K. Santhanam, the Founder of the SSM Institutions has come from a very modest and respectable Family. As a Diploma Holder in Civil Engineering, he started his career on a daily wage of Rs.6/- in the year 1965.
At the age of 19, he entered the Government Municipal Service as a Supervisor on a monthly salary of Rs.161/- and left the service at the age of 29, when he was drawing a salary of Rs.625/- per month, unable to tolerate or digest even the negligible percentage of unethical practice that prevailed in those days. He entered the World of Entrepreneurs not knowing that this Venture is in no way better than his previous assignment on the issue of moral and ethical values.
In the last 53 years, he has been working non-stop, without taking even a day’s rest, to make his life Service-Oriented. He is not a philanthropist as all his services are charged. His life cannot be construed as a Business, as his aim was not to make profit and amaze wealth. His journey of life can best be understood, as a Service to the man-kind.
Total surrender to God – Hard work – Honesty - Integrity and Quality of Service alone is the motto of his life, which had made him, what he is today in the Society. Above all he is an apolitical person.
