Meet Father Raj
Philanthropist, social worker, author, and change leader. These are some of the words we can use to describe Fr. A. Raj Mariasusai or Father Raj.
Father Raj, a well-respected and renowned priest from Yercaud, is a simple man whose only aim is to empower and uplift the poor and the powerless. Father Raj’s humble beginning and his sheer hard work, perseverance, and dedication drive this passion.
As the Founder and Director of the SPS IN DIA Foundation and its Shevaroy Hills Tribal Development Institute (STDI) in Yercaud, Father Raj oversees and implements programs that focus on the empowerment and upliftment of the Tribal communities of Shevaroy Hill Range.
He also plays an active role in promoting ecological, economic, and socio-political empowerment programs. His developmental works include tribal development, education, and healthcare.
To add to his accolades, Father Raj is also a writer, author, and mentor. Besides writing a 100-week Column in the local newspaper DTNEXT on Career Guidance for the youth, he has also authored 4 books.

Initially based in Chennai, SPS India then shifted to Yercaud and founded the Shevaroy Hills Tribal Development Institute (STDi), within SPS INDIA Foundation,
to diversify its operations. Their goal was to help the tribal villages in Shevaroy Hills to fulfill their needs and aspirations with a participative, sustainable, and holistic approach.
SPS India, along with its partner, Stichting Pater Schlooz (SPS, the Netherlands), reaches out to street children, children infected and affected with HIV/AIDS, Tribal Children, and underprivileged rural and urban children and help them build a life of their dreams through developmental programs.
SPS India’s flagship and most successful programme was the WOMEN 1000+.
The WOMEN 1000+ programme launched with the support of Rotary International, Rotary Galaxy, and SPS INDIA Foundation was a massive success in empowering 1000+ as entrepreneurs and leading to the start a people’s bank. And the project has been totally handed over to the local partners after the project period.
