Udavum Karangal, CENTRE FOR HUMANE SERVICE, is an ISO certified, National Organization caring for the people in distress for the past two decades. This is a non-governmental, non-religious and non-profit welfare centre caring all types of suffering people in India. It has been functioning for the last 21 years.

Udavum Karangal was started in a hutment colony in NSK Nagar way back in 1983 as a counseling and guidance centre by Shri. S.Vidyaakar, a qualified social worker. One day a rickshaw-puller brought an infant abandoned in a theatre to Shri.Vidyaakar known to him for some time. And that was just a beginning..............

Twenty one long years have passed and at present, like a sturdy banyan tree, Udavum Karangal is able to take care of about 1800 residents belonging to various categories like orphans, abandoned destitutes, spastic, mentally ill, mentally retarded, dying old age persons, AIDs victims etc. These socially rejected castoffs find new meaning and dignity to their lives.

Udavum Karangal's dedicated volunteers under the leadership of Shri.S.Vidyaakar are able to maintain the centre for humane services, which has 10 activity wings under its fold. The current activities are managed by Board of Committee members who hail from different walks of life, but with a sole aim to strengthen the hands of 'Helping Hands'.

Udavum Karangal runs the organization purely on public support. Please visit our web site to see how you too can help.
