History
[edit]The group was established as PSG & Sons’ charities in 1926 by the four sons of P.S. Govindasamy Naidu namely Venkataswamy Naidu, Rangaswamy Naidu, Ganga Naidu and Narayanaswamy Naidu.[4][5] The trust was established with the purpose of starting a sarvajana ("omniscient") school when a family member was denied admission to existing schools run by British.[6] The four brothers voluntarily divided their ancestral properties into five parts, reserving the one fifth amounting to ₹ 2.01 lakhs to create a charity trust.[7] The trust later established various educational institutions, health facilities and industrial institutes.[8][9]
