Charitable Organizations

Last Updated On: September 17, 2008


May the wicked become gentle
May the gentle attain peace.
May the peaceful get rid of the bondages,
May the liberated liberate others.

Let us give something back to the society. We, the privileged, healthy and able people, can do a little bit in helping the under-privileged, challenged and disabled, to go through life in a good & decent way, if not a fun-filled manner.

This page is dedicated to Charitable Organizations in South India that we have tried to associate ourselves with. As an initial step we include information on two Charitable Trusts, namely, Jeevan Gnanodhaya Charitable Trust and Vishranthi Charitable Trust.

Later, we have added information about Rajiv Gandhi Home for the Handicapped on 18 February, 2002 and VAYU Trust on December 30, 2005.

Jeevan Gnanodhaya Charitable Trust

The trust was started by the founder Mr. L. Devarajan, with the vision of social responsibility towards handicapped rural children.

It is located in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, India. Chengalpattu is about 70 kilometers south of Chennai (Madras). The trust has been able to provide this charitable service to many children and the number has risen to more than 150. Moreover, many institutes have been started from 2004. An Industrial training institute for hearing impaired and a primary school for village children have blossomed in past 5 years. They educate about 35 students in ITI and above 200 children in the primary school.

Rajiv Gandhi Home for the Handicapped

Saram, Pondicherry, India
Started by a lady with disability, Ms. Kavitha, this home in Pondicherry is dedicated to Girls with disabilities. The personal experience spurred Ms. Kavitha to use her own learnings, which was in a Home for Handicapped for 15 years. She has in turn utilized the knowledge gained in opening a Home of her own to provide similar facilities to orphan / deserted girls.
