About Us

Every Child Deserves to Rise with Confidence

The Nimirthunil Foundation is a heartfelt extension of our personal values - founded by Suresh Padmanabhan and Aparna Suresh - to stand for the silent dreams of students, mothers, and communities often left behind.Born from a humble initiative in 2019 to feed 50 people daily, the Foundation expanded in 2025 to support deserving students with full educational sponsorships. We believe that access to education and basic necessities is not charity - it is a fundamental right.The name Nimirthunil reflects our philosophy: “To rise and help others stand tall.” We envision a world where dreams are not measured by wealth, but by will - and where every individual has the chance to rise.

"We built this foundation not as a project, but as a promise - to rise by lifting others. Our journey has just begun. And it begins with one dream at a time."

Our Purpose & Promise

Empowering Futures Through Education

Our Vision

Our vision is to empower talented students who lack the financial means to pursue higher education, offering them the support they need to create Students who completed their academic of high school in 2025 will be supported.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide scholarships to bright students from disadvantaged backgrounds, enabling them to afford college education and achieve their academic goals.

In 2019, we - Suresh Padmanabhan and Aparna Suresh - served fifty hot meals and proved one truth: no one rises alone. That spark gave rise to the Nimirthunil Foundation, named after the Tamil call to “rise and stand tall together.” Our focus is razor-sharp: educate, nourish, empower. We fund college for students like Kavya and Ramesh, fill empty plates every day, and train young people to turn their ambitions into action. Every rupee, volunteer hour, and partnership is traced to a face, a plate, a diploma. If this mission moves you, add your “yes” and climb with us - upliftment is always a team ascent.
