The Founder Trustees and Management Trustees

The Founder Trustees are three individuals who share the same philosophy of ”अयं बन्धुरयं नेति गणना लघुचेतसां उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकं” which is a Sanskrit phrase from the ancient Upanishad scriptures in India. It means Only small men discriminate saying: One is a relative; the other is a stranger. For those who live magnanimously the entire world constitutes but a family.
