The Madras Seva Sadan

The Madras Seva Sadan was founded in 1928 by Sir & Lady M. Venkatasubba Rao. It was founded as a Home for grown-up girls and young women "who were poor and destitute", such as deserted wives, helpless widows and orphans. With a view to impart to them such education and training as would make them fit, in course of time, to look after themselves, and be thoroughly self-supporting and self-reliant.

    Lady Andal Venkatasubba Rao

    Lady Andal, born into an affluent family, defied societal norms by pursuing education and advocating for social awareness from a young age. After being widowed early, she remarried Sir M. Venkatasubba Rao, and together they founded The Madras Seva Sadan to uplift the underprivileged. Lady Andal's nurturing spirit and tireless efforts in breaking barriers of caste, creed, and social stigma made her a pillar of strength. Under her leadership, The Madras Seva Sadan flourished, becoming a prominent institution dedicated to social welfare and empowerment.
