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'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.
