On 25th January 1926, a Trust under the name of ‘P.S.GOVINDASWAMY NAIDU & SONS’; came into being to cater to the growing needs of education and industry. Coimbatore opened a new chapter in its history.

To understand the genesis, growth and objectives of the trust, it is necessary to travel back in time and visualize the social, educational and economic scenario of India in general and city of Coimbatore in particular.

Illiteracy and poverty afflicted the people, while lack of resources and organized services imposed constraints on the government.

Illiteracy and poverty afflicted the people, while lack of resources and organized services imposed constraints on the government. The city of Coimbatore, as it exists today with all its industrial and educational houses of excellence, could not even have been dreamt of. The entrepreneurs were yet to arrive while education was meant only for an exclusive few,With these being the circumstances, the trust was established and it became the harbinger of education and industrialization in the Coimbatore region.

It needed a benign and active mix of sympathy, daringness, generosity and selflessness to even think of bringing in changes in such a setting. The four sons of Shri PS Govindaswamy Naidu whose initials the trust bears, had all this in themselves and through their tireless efforts brought forth the trust. They, Shri PSG Venkataswamy Naidu, Shri PSG Rangaswamy Naidu, Shri PSG Ganga Naidu, Shri PSG Narayanaswamy Naidu, the four sons of Shri PS Govindaswamy Naidu, went about setting up the trust in a unique and inimitable fashion. They adopted Charity as their fifth brother and divided their ancestral wealth into, not 4 equal portions, but 5, the fifth one earmarked exclusively for Charity.

They realized that illiteracy caused stagnation, insulating the people from the progressive changes taking place all around and left them poor and uninformed; and hence it was at the root of all the ills of society. Their generous and leadership qualities surged ahead to the fore with this clear sense of understanding of the prevailing malady and its cause. And so, they struck back at illiteracy with a missionary zeal and made education as their primary trust area. The zeal of idealism continued and many
institutions were born in succession in various disciplines.

Shri L. Gopalakrishnan Managing Trustee, PSG & Sons Charities Trust

The mission of PSG Hospitals has never been in doubt. It serves as a centre of learning, and as a centre of healing. The twin objectives of training future health professionals and making available to the community the best of health care at an affordable cost have always been guiding our journey.

Right from its inception PSG was dedicated to lead from the front for knowledge development. While many organisations focused their strength in industrial growth and other facets of national development, PSG was exclusively formed and fostered for knowledge development. National development is closely linked with knowledge development, and illiteracy is a thick veil that prevents growth. PSG realised this decades ago and the inclusive model of knowledge distribution and development revolutionised this part of the country.

In the year 1926, when the founders decided to partition their wealth into five, they had a clear-cut vision. The fifth portion, adopted as a brother, and christened CHARITY, is a living edifice of their sense of social responsibility. It was their forethought and munificence that made them identify and formulate ways in which they can be involved in societal development. That is how PSG was born. We, of the successive generations, have continuously tried to uphold the lofty values and the mantle of working for society.

On behalf of the board of trustees, and on my own personal behalf, I am extremely happy to rededicate this hospital to the service of society through education and health care!

Dr. Tadury Madhukar Subbarao Principal

PSG is more than an institution. It is a thought in action – a thought that is at once noble and unique. A thought that gave charity a footing equal to that of a brother in flesh and blood. A thought that chose education as its transformative tool for propelling inclusive societal growth. And, a thought that remained not just a thought but resolved into action. In 1926! The passage of time makes it a legend, but pages of action make it dynamic!

PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research was started in 1985, and PSG Hospitals in 1989.

Medicine is learnt in the inseparable triumvirate of colleges, community and hospitals. The rigor of academics strengthens the reality of patient care. Thus, a medical college and hospital is essentially a unitary concept. Thus they are bound, and thus they should be.

In the community of hospitals, teaching hospitals hold pride of place. Reasons abound. The rigorous academic methods, uncompromising ethics, mandatory peer reviews, audits, accountability, accreditations and research make teaching hospitals unique centres of advanced, safe, and holistic health care – a far cry from corporate hospitals. No doubt, at PSG, we are inspired by our motto of providing community health through education and health care. The silver jubilee is a point in time for us to look back to look beyond. As we look beyond we stand rooted in the PSG panchsheel (five values) of ethics, science, quality, holistic care, and affordability. The panchsheel that defines us and the panchsheel that drives us. Thus we are, and that is how we will be. Now and forever and ever.

PSG Hospitals  offer its STATE OF THE ART patient care services through the centre of excellence, PSG super speciality hospitals, as well services to the needy through the PSGIMSR hospitals.

With our core values of CHARITY and ETHICS, we at PSG ensure Quality; Safe care at an affordable cost. We continue to promote healthier society through our preventive programs.

Dr. P.R. Rajkumar Medical Director, PSG Hospitals
