DIYA Featured in Hindu

DIYA, a social service group, was started in 2004 by a group of final year students who wanted to make the life of people around them a little better. We had a very humble start. No high aspirations or false promises. What started as a group which frequented orphanages and old people's home to supply their monthly provisions has now diversified into multiple streams.

• Environment - Partnered with Nizhal to plant saplings in various parts of the city. Taught the neighbourhood to care properly for the plants.
• Education - Started a tuition centre for the kids in Pozhichalur so that they don't have to study in a thatched building which falls off during each rain.
• Empowerement - DIYA helped launch the Life Star program which imparts vocational training to students who are visually impaired.
• Service - Regular visits to old age homes and orphanages to cater to their monthly provisions.

This week DIYA has been featured in The Hindu. Full article can be found here or here.
