In the 1970s, Thiru J. Rajendra Prasad commenced his career as a merchant, engaging in business activities both locally in his native place Shevapet and at the state level. Transitioning into the realm of education, he began serving as the secretary to the Vasavi Vidya Trust and Vysya College, Salem, a role he continues to fulfill to this day. Vysya College is situated in Masinaickanpatty village, Ayodhiyapattinam, Salem district.

Meanwhile, in 1999, Thirumathi J. Sulosana Jayaraman was inspired by a core principle of serving society and its people. With this ethos guiding her, she established an educational trust in honor of her husband, Thiru. Jayaraman, and assumed the role of chairman within the trust.

Recognizing Thiru J. Rajendra Prasad's decade-long experience in higher education, his mother, Thirumathi J. Sulosana Jayaraman, sought to leverage his expertise for the benefit of her educational trust. With the hope that he would lead the trust to success, she founded the Jairam Educational Trust and appointed him along with other family members to its board. In the academic year 2000 – 2001, the trust established Jairam Arts and Science College in Chinnathirupathi village, Salem district, marking the institution's journey into its 20th year of higher education.

Presently, Thiru J. Rajendra Prasad holds the position of chairman, while his son, Thiru R. Manikandan, serves as the secretary of Jairam Arts and Science College. Expanding their educational initiatives, in the academic year 2011 – 2012, Thiru J. Rajendra Prasad initiated Jairam Public School, followed by the establishment of Jairam Higher Secondary School in the same campus during the academic year 2015 – 2016.
