Palam Kalyanasundaram,

Mugavari Ramesh is a living embodiment of Mahakavi Bharathiyar’s words – “Rather than establishing a thousand food shelters or building ten thousand temples, providing education to one poor person earns a crore time more merit (Puniyam)”. “The soul of India lives in its villages. If the village progresses, India will progress” is a cornerstone sentiment of Mahatma Gandhi. For this to become a reality, we need a ‘Mugavari’ Ramesh in every village. Mugavari Ramesh is a living example that neither wealth, position, nor education is required to serve the needy; it simply takes a good heart.
