It is imperative to stem the tide of disillusionment among the youth of our time. It is possible for every socially responsible citizen to make a small beginning however humble it may be, and help generate an ethos and a milieu conductive to what Jonathan Swift long ago called " sweetness and light ". As a Chinese proverb goes, "Even a thousand-mile journey must begin with a single step".

The prime objective of the PON NAAVARASU TRUST is to bring about a change of heart and foster a humane disposition of the mind. It is hoped that in the long run such values will percolate and might even create a movement turning the young people in positive directions.With such a large ideal in view the trust plans to develop/run educational institutions, motivating students towards an inner culture by strengthening a sense of fellowship among them.
Our endeavor will be to help shape a generation of fine citizens who will be conscious of their role in enriching society and life.The trust will take up projects that will assist aspiring youth to enrich one's life through the appropriate application of Science and Technology coupled with the inculcation of cultural, ethical and moral values. It is guided and supervised by a group of illustrious persons from different walks of life.
