While many people out there in our society who always wants to become a newsmaker and thereby becoming a celebrity overnight by hardly doing anything as such, sometimes they tend to do anything to acclaim that celebrity status. But exception is also seen sometimes but of course it is very rare, doing something selflessly is very uncommon thing to be seen nowadays. But this man Kalyanasundaram who is denoted as the ‘Man of Millennium’ and exceptionally a selfless man who gave everything for the needy people and he is truly a man of honour who proved that humanity is something which exist till today in this brutal world.
This man runs a charitable trust where he organised fund for every single problem faced by the needy people it can be for education, for some critical treatment, marriages of daughter and during many more crisis. Despite donating his entire property he also donated his body for the society so that after his death the organs can save someone’s life, this kind of a person who doesn’t care about his publicity and is only concerned about the welfare of the needy people and seeing them happy he gains all the pleasure of his life and thinks that he is successful in his mission towards building a better society.
His background and journey
Kalayanasundaram who was born and spend his childhood and adulthood at Melakaruvelangulam village in Tamil Nadu in his village there were only thirty houses at that time and there was no road and no electricity and not even a minor shop, till ten years of his age he studied with the light of a kerosene lamp and candle, he lost his father at a very young age and it was his mother who taught him the value of life and serving the poor he is a gold medallist in library science and also holds a masters degree in literature and history a highly educated person who worked as a librarian for a span of thirty years during this span of time every month he donated his entire salary for the welfare of the needy people and to fulfil his requirement he himself worked as a waiter in a hotel, after retirement he donated his entire retirement amount that is around ten lakh rupees and also his monthly pension to those needy people. He is the first person in the entire world to do something like this nobody ever had done this kind of sacrifice in their life and he is the first person to donate entirely everything he possess but he never tempted for any kind of publicity and even hides his name if anyone wants to popularize it. He even sold his ancestral property and donated that amount too among those needy people.
Since forty five years Kalyansundaram’s social work was focussed on the needy children of our society. It was during the year 1998 after he got retired from his service he decided to expand his work and then his organisation Paalam born, so that he could do something more for those deprived people of our society. He says that he is a bachelor person and so his needs are very much minimal which can be managed by doing some odd jobs as a laundry boy or as a waiter in a hotel actually he never wants to own anything and he finds pleasure in giving away everything he have and it is very unusual for a person to do something like this.
His work and Paalam
His organisation Paalam where he donated the entire amount of his retirement, Paalam works for create link to donors and receivers not only to donate money but whatever they needful for those people this organisation works for different kinds of social activity programmes for the deprived people like making some help for the education of the needy children, giving proper medical facilities, arranging blood donation camp and also sending the blood samples to those hospitals during emergencies, organising rehabilitation centre for the elderly, mentally sick and frustrated, unemployed people, he also arranges fund during the natural calamities like earthquake, flood and other natural disasters and he also gives free counselling for the needy and for rendering so many services alone he is better known as Paalm Kalyanasundaram. While he goes to people and asks for some fund then by his appearance it is clearly noticed that he is not a simple fund raiser but someone different who thinks differently.
For his selfless work and charity he received several awards and recognition from India and abroad, in his professional field he was chosen one of the topmost librarians of the world and that is why the Union Government of India recognised him as ‘The Best Librarian in India’, he was also recognised as the noblest man of the world by the International Biographical Centre at Cambridge also the UNO acclaimed his an Outstanding Man of the twentieth century and an American organisation recognised him as the ‘Man of The Millennium’ and from there he received a gifted amount of rupees thirty Crore which he also donated in his organisation .Despite of winning so many awards and recognition for his selfless love and dedication towards the poor and needy class of our society yet he has a very less popularity among the masses. Kalyanasundaram indeed a man of substance and a person who really showed the world what is the original meaning of simple living and high thinking he totally works on the principle of Mahatma Gandhi and dosen’t really cares about whether the world notices him or not but he just want to go ahead towards his mission. He is someone who is the best example and definition of humanity. Famous celebrity actor Rajnikanth declared Kalyansundaram as his father as the good work of this person touched his heart so much he took critically ill Kalayanasundaram to hospital and financed his treatment there for 15 days and after his discharge the superstar and his wife Latha requested Kalyanasundaram to stay with them forever but he refused because he felt locked up there and also said that many more people are there in the society who needs him and so he can’t stay there with them.
Generation may come and go but a person of this level had never walked on our planet before
