Mrs.Rani Krishnan, being a native of Trichy lead her life as simple as possible which was very contradictory with her siblings. During her childhood she took her education at Holy Cross Convent in Trichy where she became very popular for her simplicity and serving nature at the age of 10. Rev Sister Elizebth Rose President of the Holy Convent was very convinced and happy on the activities done by Mrs.Rani Krishnan and taught her more about servicing to become a true social worker. Thereby Mrs.Rani Krishnan quitting her studies after 10th started to serve the convent along with the other nuns. As Mrs.Rani Krishnan’s mother was a second wife to Mr.Arokiasamy, she did not like the treatment given to her by her father compared to his first wife’s children. Hence she utilized the accommodation provided by the convent and did all the domestic work for both the management and the students.
After few years Mr.Arokiasamy passed away from this world, while all his properties were sandaled by his relatives leaving nothing for his children. Hence along with her family Mrs.Rani Krishnan came to Chennai as they felt ashamed to live any more there to hear the insulting words from others.

Mrs.Rani Krishnan did face all the struggle a girl would face at her teenage and the troubles given to her from the society. Mrs.Rani Krishnan earned her families bread by selling dress materials to various institutions like the Stella Maries and the Queen Maries.
She also did door to door marketing to earn more for her family. This struggle of hers continued until she got an employment at the Chief Ministers office to collect the petitions from the public. She continued her service with sincerity and truthfulness which was a great plus for her character. Before his period of life in this world, the Chief Minister Thiru M.G.Ramachandran learnt the social desires of Mr.Rani Krishnan and provided her land to start her beautiful service for the poor and needy. Now Mrs.Rani Krishnan is the Founder & Secretary of the Annai Fathima Trust which maintains the Annai Fathima Child Welfare Centre and Annai Illam, a home for the abandoned children and the senior citizens respectively.
