• “Ungal Kuzhandayum Aagalaam Engineer” Gains Momentum, Second Edition to Benefit 19 Students

Chennai, 4th Dec 2024: The CSR Scholarship Initiative, “Ungal Kuzhandayum Aagalaam Engineer,” launched in 2023, is Sumangala’s endevour to help their community achieve its aspirations of making their children engineers.

Established in 1985, Sumangala Steel is the most trusted and experienced steel manufacturer in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, renowned for its quality, consistency, and excellence in serving the construction industry for over 35 years.

The Thought Behind the Initiative:

Every worker in the construction industry and employees in steel dealerships have been working under qualified engineers for years. Naturally, they aspire for their children to become like the engineers they have worked with. Sumangala Steel, with its excellent understanding of steel, has consistently delivered high-quality TMT, making construction workers' lives easier and more rewarding. These workers, in turn, have rewarded Sumangala with their trust and confidence. Mr. Rajendra Sabanayagam, CMD of Sumangala Steels, says, “With the Sumangala Scholarship, we wish to play an even bigger part in their lives by helping their children achieve their dream of becoming engineers.”
