Historical Perspective

The joint venture agreement by Sir Ivan Stedeford - chairman of Tube Investments, U.K., and his knighthood still in the future - signed in 1949 was with members of the family whose name is now associated with the Murugappa Group. By the mid 50’s, the Murugappa Group started the

  • TI Cycles

  • Tube Products India

  • Sir Ramaswami Mudaliar HS School

The Group also helped bring a post office and bank into an area that was still rural. What was, however, badly needed was a hospital. And TI decided to establish it between Ambattur and Avadi.

When Sir Ivan was informed of the plans and, shrewdly, also of the intention to name it after him, he replied, "I'm delighted. And I'll do my bit. It won't be very much. I am not, as many think, a rich man. But I will gladly contribute to the project." And so the hospital received a gift of around £ 5,000 for him. He also came down to inaugurate it in 1966.

All plans for the hospital were drawn up in consultation with the other Arcot Twin, Sir Lakshmanaswami Mudaliar.

His first bit of advice was, "Don't give anything free; it will not be appreciated. Charge four or eight annas for an outpatient and Rs. 3 or Rs. 5 for a bed, and they'll not only pay but also appreciate what you are doing for the area."
