Later, he met the editor of Ananda
Vikatan and told him about his noble
cause. To this the editor told him that he
would write about him only when he
would donate something from his
earnings. Taking the editor's words as a
challenge, Sundaram quietly went away.
He vowed to live his life only for social
welfare. Thus he remained a bachelor
and dedicated his life to serve the
society.
Superstar Rajinikanth has adopted him
as his father.
United Nations Organization (UNO) has
honored him as (one of the)
Outstanding People of the 20th Century.

Sundaram, a gold medalist in Library
Science has Master's degree in
Literature and History from Madras
University, India. He received BAPASI
award for best librarian in 2012. Other
awards received by him include lifetime
service award from Rotary International,

We cannot sustain ourselves, unless
we contribute to the society in some
way or the other. I strongly feel if even
one person does his bit towards social
good, there will be some change.
– P. Kalyansundaram.
