Surendra Kumar Bhagarathi spent most of his working life at the Skeldon Sugar Estate and he witnessed firsthand the contribution the estate made to the community of Corriverton. So, when the estate was closed, Bhagarathi felt the need to assist the community.
Even though he was one of the many workers who were laid off, at the time he held the position of Superintendent, the father of one felt that he needed to do something to assist the children of his former workers, some of whom were not attending school.
As a result, he and his wife, Shanta Youngkam, together with like-minded persons, formed the organisation Service to Humanity, Today’s Children Our Future in January of last year.
