Our Board of Trustees consists of the following dedicated and experienced people:

Mr. K. Pandia Rajan, Chairman and Managing Director, Ma Foi Management Consultants Ltd., is the Founder Trustee of CIOSA. He is a pioneer in the HR service industry in India and founded and built Ma Foi from scratch into one of India's leading HR service providers. A keen Rotarian and Eisenhower Fellow from India (2000), he brings dynamism and innovativeness to many social development efforts. He is also the founder and Managing Trustee of Sornammal Educational Trust (SET).

Mr. P. N. Devarajan, Trustee of CIOSA is the brain behind the concept of a collaborative platform for NGOs. He combines more than 35 years of experience in top positions in companies and large public enterprises such as Hindustan Organic Chemicals, Bank of Baroda, Reserve Bank of India, Essar Group, Reliance Industries Limited and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories.

Post retirement, Mr. Devarajan founded the Manava Seva Dharma Samvardhini Trust (MSDS) which runs several innovative social projects such as the Centre for Social Initiative and Management (CSIM) in Chennai and Hyderabad and the Dhal-Oil-Sugar (DOS) scheme. MSDS is also popular for its Satguru Gnanananda annual national awards recognising and honouring women social workers in India.

Mrs. Kaveri Natarajan, Trustee of CIOSA, founded Kaingkarya Social Welfare Organisation after twenty years as a teacher in the social work sector.

Kaingkarya is primarily involved in prevention of child labour and empowerment of women by education and training. It has published books about employment opportunities for school dropouts and women.

Mr. B. Sankar Mahadevan, Trustee of CIOSA, works in a nationalised bank in Chennai and dedicates his entire spare time to running the Udhavum Ullangal Public Charitable Trust. Udhavum Ullangal started as a small initiative to spread happiness in the lives of underprivileged children by celebrating various festival days with them.

With the help of dedicated volunteers, it has now grown and is active in the areas of educational support, medical assistance, disaster relief, celebration of festival days with the sick and underprivileged and help for the differently abled. It also acts as a link organisation between philanthropists, charitable institutions, service minded people and the socially deprived.
