Born of agriculturist parents in a small town of Rajapalayam Dr. (Capt) D.V.P Raja is a self-made man of 80 years who has been fighting throughout his life for the upliftment and betterment of society in general and the elderly in particular.

A turning point in his life occurred, when he was just 10 years of age through a divine moment which blessed him with a meeting of one gentleman Nallakutralam Pillai, a renowned social worker of those days who proved to be a source of inspiration and sowed the seeds of social service into the tender mind and heart of a budding social activist. The candle thus lighted at age of ten was made to glow still brighter like the star of first magnitude in the firmament of social service by Rev.Fr. Bonhoure of St. Xavier’s College, Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli where Raja pursued his UG course in 1955 – 59. As the second source of inspiration he was instrumental in extending social service activities beyond a limited circle by elevating him to the level of General Secretary of Social Service Club of the reputed St Xavier’s College.
