Sevalaya was founded by five young people - Mr. V. Muralidharan and his friends. It started functioning on May 29, 1988 with 5 children in a small rented house at Sivanvoil village. During 1990-91, with the support of philanthropic minded public, Sevalaya began operating its own premises situated in 1.52 acres of own land at Kasuva, a remote village near Chennai which did not have any medical and schooling facilities. Sevalaya also runs an orphanage, old age home, medical facility, library and a goshala (cow shelter) for the community
