2] Mr. Palanisamy Sethirayar
the school at Sriperumbudur run by Mr. Palanisamy Sethirayar (A wellknown philanthropist but less known among political circles, Anandha Vikadan once published a 4 page interview with this less known but large hearted man).
The school and hostel is for the children of the prisoners of Life or Death Sentence, unfortunately most (believe me most) are our lads.
There too they are living on Donations. For these two I definitely can help to arrange and let you know the required things.
THIS my fellow warriors, can be the proper tribute to the great man who fought against a mighty empire with courage.
