The story behind our name
This is a powerful story of two noble-hearted women, Kamala Sheshadri and Neela Subramanian, seeds from which the tree of generosity and wisdom grew. The legacy woven by their lives became the roots of what is known today as the Kamala Neela Trust, a beacon of hope and support for girls who dare to dream.
Kamala Sheshadri - A Pillar of Strength and Care
Kamala's name echoed wisdom and a sheltering presence. Her life was a living tapestry of care and selfless love. Anyone who stepped into Kamala's world felt the warmth of maternal care as if they had found a second home within her kind eyes and tender words. She wasn't just a figure of compassion but also a guardian, fierce in her protection of those she considered family—which was, in truth, every individual she encountered.
​
Her home was never hers alone; it was a sanctuary she offered to every wandering soul needing rest, amenities or a plate of hot food. But what truly made Kamala an unforgettable spirit was her enduring belief in nurturing the light within each individual, protecting and guiding it until it blazed bright enough to illuminate its own paths.
Neela Subramanian - The Visionary Dream Weaver
Complementing Kamala's warmth was Neela's radiant wisdom, a woman whose strength flowed like the timeless currents of the rivers. She was a harbour of conviction, unwavering in her belief that education was the golden key to unlocking the chains society so often placed on girls. Neela was a force, a steady rock against the tides of doubt that would attempt to drown the aspirations of young women who sought more from the world.
​
With every girl she lifted through education, Neela wove a vivid and robust dream that refused to fade even in the harshest light of challenge. She knew the value of empowering young minds with knowledge and vision, shaping them into leaders, thinkers, and creators who would one day transform the world with ingenuity and passion.
