Our story

About Us

Lakshmipathi Chockalingam founded CVL Seva Trust. Lakshmipathi has almost 30 years of expertise in the financial sector, having worked with Sundaram Finance, ICICI Bank, and ASK Group. The Trust is a homage to his parents, Shri L.Chockalingam and Smt. C.Vijayalakshmi.

“I grew up in a modest, middle-class family in Triplicane, Chennai, where access to quality education was challenging. Thanks to my hardworking parents, I was able to succeed.

After reading the book “Ikigai”, I gained a deeper understanding of life’s purpose and realized that “giving back to society” is my Ikigai at this stage of life. Contributing to the well-being of others not only enriches their lives, but also brings profound fulfilment and meaning to our own. With the support of my friend Ms. Arthi Ram, CVL Trust was founded to educate, elevate and empower underprivileged children. Our goal is to assist in creating an equitable society.
