Sanath Kumar C. D. (05-FEB 1952) is an Indian educationist, author and philosopher. He was raised in a town called Krishnagiri in India. At the age of 2, Mr. Sanath Kumar had a polio attack and lost strength in the left side of his body. While recuperating at a famous hospital in Bangalore, a wrongly administered electric shock treatment made his disability permanent. Later years of his life kept him and his family toiling with various kinds of treatment. Everything went in vain and made him to move on a wheel chair.
This unfortunate situation prevented him from having formal education. As he was continuously under one or the other treatment in many places for the next 20 years, he could not be sent to school.

He grew by developing his reading skills through newspapers and books available at home without any plan.
At the age of 18, he started Kumar & Kumar Typing Institute at Krishnagiri. This institute thrived successfully for 17 years with around 3000 trained and qualified youth not only in typing but also in spoken English, Soft skills and Leadership Qualities.
