The Genesis

Chapter 1

Ganga Naidu
& The Foundation of Poolai Medu

Ganga Naidu's visionary establishment of Poolai Medu on November 11, 1711, marks the beginning of a significant chapter in history. The settlement became a melting pot for historical immigration, fostering a unique blend of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and local Tamil communities. Through relentless hard work and innovative agricultural practices, the once-wilderness region transformed into a thriving oasis. The community's deep gratitude is evident in the bestowed titles like 'Peria Veettukarar' and 'Dharmakartas,' honoring not only Ganga Naidu but also his descendants for their contributions to the region's growth and prosperity. Over time, the name ‘Poolai Medu’ gracefully evolved into the present day 'Peelamedu'.

PSG & Sons' Charities

In 1926, the four brothers took a significant step by partitioning their ancestral properties to give rise to PSG & Sons' Charities, effectively becoming the fifth brother in their legacy. The primary objective was to champion inclusive education, provide a platform for technical empowerment among the youth, and actively contribute to the welfare of the underprivileged. The inaugural institution, Sarvajana, embodied an egalitarian ethos, envisioned as a school "for all people." The PSG family's unwavering faith in the transformative power of education played a pivotal role in propelling Coimbatore into a prominent educational and industrial hub. Presently, PSG & Sons' Charities extends its influence to over 30,000 students across 30 educational institutions, offering a comprehensive array of educational opportunities ranging from kindergartens to medical education.
