Mr.Kalayanasundaram, he worked as a Librarian for 30 years. Every month in his 30 year experience(service), he donated his entire salary to help the needy.
He worked as a server in a hotel to meet his needs.
He donated even his pension amount of about ten lakh rupees to the needy.
He is the first person in the world to spend the entire earnings for a
social cause. In recognition to his service, United Nations Organization
(UNO) adjudged him as one of the Outstanding People of the 20th
Century. An American organization honoured him with the ‘Man of the Millennium’ award. He received a sum of Rs 30 cores as a part of this award. He distributed that money entirely for
the poor as usual.
Kalyanasundaram was born and brought up in Melakaruvelangulam
village, of Nangunari taluk in Tirunelveli district, in Tamilnadu, India.
He says “There were only 30 houses then. No roads, no buses,
no school, no electricity, not even a petty shop. I studied in the light
of a kerosene lamp or by candlelight till I was about ten years old”.
For 45 years, Kalyanasundaram’s social work focused on children.
Children were helped in pursuing education, medical attention was
provided to the needy, blood donation camps were organized and
blood samples were reached to hospitals during emergencies, the
unemployed, elderly, sick and handicapped were rehabilitated, and
free counseling was provided.
He established an organisation called "Paalam". Paalam has taken
active part in relief work during cyclones and earthquakes that have
struck various parts of India.
People trust Paalam because of Kalyanasundaram and what he
stands for. He says “I have slept on pavements and railway platforms
to find out what it is like to be poor, without a roof over your head".
.
He says “I am a bachelor. I did not marry. My personal needs are less.
I am able to do a job in a hotel or a laundry. I simply dont wish to own
anything. One of my happiest moments was when, after being chosen
as the `Man of the Millennium’ by an American organization, I donated
the entire gift amount of Rs. 30 cores to charity".

Moved by his passion to help others, Super Star Rajinikanth adopted
him as his father.
