Through engaging activities and reflective guidance, teachers were equipped with strategies to nurture independence, curiosity, and confidence, empowering children to experience learning as a joyful and self-motivated journey.🙋Govin

Beyond Charity, foster Self Sufficiency,Dr.(Mrs) Benjamine Oberoi

Dr.(Mrs) Benjamine Oberoi was Honoured with OZONE Award.She expressed on this occasion,

"Beyond Charity:  SEVAI- OFI Foster Self-Sufficiency".

Mrs. Benjamine Oberoi, Co-Chairman of OFI and founder of the CASA Foundation, has been a steadfast supporter of SEVAI's work in women's empowerment and water resource development. For decades, this partnership has recharged irrigation wells and revived water bodies, boosting food production threefold through tank renovations, check dams, and spillover structures. To ensure lasting impact, Dr. Oberoi advocates community-owned common funds, contributed by farmers, for periodic maintenance of these resources, reducing dependence on external aid. This "passing on the gift" approach nurtures self-reliance and challenges the expectation of continuous support—like beneficiaries seeking help for minor home repairs decades after receiving houses. By fostering collective responsibility, SEVAI is shifting from charity to empowerment, helping communities stand on their own feet and build sustainable futures.🌿Govin

From Aid to Action, SEVAI

From Aid to Action:SEVAI's 50 years legacy of empowering poor and needy.

For over 50 years, SEVAI has been at the forefront of rural development, turning aid into action and transforming countless lives. By providing education, livelihood support, and essential services, it has helped families move from poverty to self-sufficiency, creating stronger, more resilient communities.

Those who rise from hardship must extend their hand to others, creating a chain of generosity and empowerment."_ True success, he emphasized, is not measured by wealth but by how many lives we uplift. When beneficiaries pay it forward, they become agents of change, breaking the cycle of poverty and spreading hope across generations. 🌱Kris

Manual brick making creates self employment opportunities in Amoor, SEVAI.

SEVAI promotes employability skills among the villagers of Amoor through manual brick making, which builds practical abilities in soil preparation, mix ratios, molding, drying, and firing—giving workers hands-on technical expertise. The process sharpens problem-solving as they troubleshoot cracks, uneven drying, and firing defects, while teamwork and communication grow through coordinated tasks. Workers develop quality control skills by testing bricks for strength and durability, and entrepreneurial skills by managing production, marketing, and finances, opening paths to small-scale business ownership. Physical labor builds stamina and endurance, while resource management teaches efficient use of soil, water, and fuel. Together, these skills enhance employability in construction and manufacturing, and create opportunities for self-employment and rural entrepreneurship.Mrs.Sarala, SEVAI views that Manual brick making process is labour intensive and generates livelihood for rural areas.👍Govin

Public appeals 'Padma Award,' for Community Sirpi Velayutham Ayya 🙏

Community Sirpi Velayutham: The Relentless Sculptor of Tamil Nadu's Grassroots Revolution*

Born Velayutham, he's widely known across Tamil Nadu as _Community Sirpi Velayutham_ — "Sirpi" meaning sculptor — for tirelessly shaping communities and lives. A super senior citizen, he continues to inspire youth and service-minded individuals to champion development for the poor, especially in rural areas, with a focus on environmental conservation, sustainable growth, youth involvement, and women empowerment. A fearless social activist and former Youth Coordinator with Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan, serving at various capacities in NYK, he spent nearly five decades mobilizing youth power. His offshoots — "Ten Persons per Village," a non-political, non-religious community activist movement, and the New India Youth Activist Movement — drive voluntary community development. Though age limits his physical field presence, hundreds of followers like Mr. G. Ramalingam and Engineer Kannan carry forward his legacy and vision of a self-sustaining, value-driven modern India. The school he established in rural Salem District provides quality education and free feeding programs — breakfast, lunch, and evening snacks — well managed by Mr. G. Ramalingam. Sirpi Velayutham Ayya adopted 10 children, providing scholarships from his pension amount, a heartening gesture of compassion. He has been instrumental in building homes for the homeless, providing sanitation, and pioneering community societies. His follower K. Govindaraju of SEVAI leads comprehensive village development projects, reflecting Sirpi's lasting impact. Sirpi Velayutham Ayya created thousands of youth clubs and focused offshoots. Tamilnadu Anbuvazhi Arapani Mandram, with Mr. Ramalingam and Retired District Judge Kukan supported by Green India, carries forward Agro Forestry programs in Salem and neighboring districts. A creative lyricist and singer, Sirpi Velayutham Ayya fuels youth with energy and compassion. His vision thrives through Tamilnadu Anbuvazhi Arappani Mandram and organizations like SEVAI, recently honored by the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu for social impact. Despite a beautiful family with his wife and two sons in the medical profession, his heart remains with grassroots intervention. Blending modern tools with Gandhian values — self-reliance, community spirit, simple living — Sirpi Velayutham's work is timeless and timely, proving age is no barrier to service. His unwavering commitment to an alcohol-free and corruption-free state remains the cornerstone of his values, inspiring generations to build a just, sustainable future.

_Public Plea:_ His silent revolutionary services deserve national recognition. Honoring Community Sirpi Velayutham with a Padma Award would celebrate his lifelong dedication to social transformation and inspire countless others to walk the path of selfless service.☀️🌿Govin

Humanity services with spiritual values by Senior Citizen Mr.N.Krishnamurthy in Trichy.

At 70, Mr. N.Krishnamurthy could have slipped into a quiet retirement, but instead he walks the streets of Trichy as a living beacon of compassion. A former Higher Secondary School Head Master turned practicing advocate, he and his devoted wife, Mrs. Krishnamurthy, make regular pilgrimages to Thirumala Tirupathi for Sri Venkatesha Perumal darshan, returning each time with eyes alight and heart renewed to serve their community. His lifelong dedication to children—shaped by years as a headmaster and district coordinator, roles celebrated by officials and stakeholders—now shines through his past work on the District Child Welfare Committee, where he tenderly reunited runaway children with their families and gently guided school dropouts back into classrooms, turning despair into hope. Beyond the courtroom, he partners with SEVAI and the South Zone Board of Continuing Education (OZONE), training field workers in legal literacy and educational motivation, his voice echoing with purpose. "His generosity and human values are a living lesson for all of us," says Dr. K. Govindaraju, Founder/Director of SEVAI. Together, the Krishnamurthys embody a simple truth: true spirituality lies in uplifting others, one act of kindness at a time. ☀️Govin

Farmers enjoy Forest Benefits in Thottiyapatty-,SEVAI intervention 🌿

Farmers Enjoy Forest Benefits in Thottiyapatty

In the quiet village of Thottiyapatty, life revolves around the rhythm of nature. Here, farmers don't just depend on their fields—they depend on the forests that cradle their community. These forests are more than trees; they're lifelines.

SEVAI has long promoted an *Afforestation program*, clubbed with Miyawaki forest and fruit tree agroforestry, in Thottiyapatty, Thogamalai Block. This forestry initiative, sustained over many years, now benefits the entire village. During a recent visit, village leader *Chinna Kalai* and his family described the forest as _"an oasis in this dryland region."_ They expressed heartfelt thanks to *Mrs. Benjamine Oberoi of OFI* for her continued support, which, in partnership with SEVAI, has advanced Thottiyapatty's development for over a decade.

Every monsoon, the forest acts like a giant sponge, capturing rainwater and slowly releasing it into streams and wells. This natural water system ensures that farmers have _sustainable water sources_ for irrigation, even during dry months. Leaf litter and organic matter from the forest floor enrich the soil, making it naturally fertile and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

When cattle and goats wander, it's the forest grasses and leaves that provide _fodder for livestock_. For families, the forest offers _non-timber products_—honey, wild fruits, medicinal herbs, and firewood—adding nutrition, health, and income to daily life. Beyond these direct benefits, the forest shields the village from climate extremes, cools the air, acts as a windbreak, and supports biodiversity, including pollinators and natural pest controllers that help crops thrive.

By protecting and nurturing these forests, the people of Thottiyapatty aren't just preserving trees—they're securing _food, water, climate resilience, and harmony between farming and nature_ for generations to come.🌿Govin

In the heart of Vaiyampatty Block, Manapari Taluk, SEVAI, with the support of OFI, has taken up the mission of breathing new life into Vaiyapuripatty's rural water body tank, spread across seven acres. More than just a tank, it is a lifeline for farmers, livestock, and ecosystems—holding the promise of water security, agricultural productivity, and climate resilience.

Deepening and renovating the tank means _more water when it's needed most_. It boosts storage capacity, recharges groundwater, tames floods, and creates space for fisheries and livestock to thrive. In short, it's a game-changer for both people and nature.

The journey begins with a _detailed site survey and community consultation_, ensuring local voices shape the project. Then comes the hard work—_desilting and excavation_ to restore depth, followed by _strengthening bunds_ and reshaping inlets and outlets for smooth water flow. To make it last, _lining is added where needed_, and the tank is compacted and protected with vegetation. Regular monitoring ensures it stays strong for generations to come.

Through this initiative, SEVAI and OFI aren't just fixing a tank—they're _revitalizing a community's future_, empowering farmers, nurturing ecosystems, and building resilience against climate challenges, 🌿Govin
