Its journey began in 1994 with only 10 children with destitute women as a house mother in a small cottage in a remote village named Kilavedu, which had no electric lights, no proper roads to reach. It is 5Kms from the buzzing Town of Chengalpattu on the way to historical place, Mammallapuram.

Since then, DSI has been growing and we have around 80 children in the wisdom home every year in 10 cottages and dormitory in two campuses of DSI. The children are accommodated from 6 years to 16 years of age.

Daily we get enough milk from our cows in the dairy farm and so we give milk to our children every day. We also give egg thrice a week & non-veg twice a week. Every month the nurse takes height & weight for the children. We have clinics in both homes, where the doctor comes in every Saturday. During school hours, the nurse is available for the schools also. We have quarterly medical camps for our children. Dental camps are also conducted specifically for our home and school children.
