The SDD team is led by its Founder-President Mr. M. Manavalan, a man who sees and seeks ultimate salvation in education and strongly believes that education can really prove transformational for the depressed sections. Apart from its Founder-President, SDD is equally well-endowed with a team of 10 committed volunteers who share Mr. Manavalan’s vision as well as match him in passion.  In fact, it is this team’s infectious enthusiasm and intense effort that have brought education on a serious note to the door-steps of the depressed sections living in and around Chetpet.
