CM unveils book on Srinivasan Services Trust
The Hindu
It traces the journey of the trust’s work in rural development
Commemorating 25 years of their work in rural development, the book, A Silent Revolution - The Journey of the Srinivasan Services Trust, was released on Wednesday.
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin unveiled the book and Venu Srinivasan, chairman, TVS Motor Company; managing trustee, Srinivasan Services Trust, presented the first copy of the book to him. Authored by Snigdha Parupudi, the book traces the journey of the Trust, which is the social arm of Sundaram-Clayton Limited and TVS Motor Company, and how they have facilitated development by improving the lives of rural communities.
“We have only played a role of a catalyst. It is the thousands of people across the villages we work with who have spearheaded this revolution of change and carried it forward. We have stood by, and encouraged them,” said Mr. Srinivasan, reflecting on their journey.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
