UDHAVI, an Adyar based NGO focusing on elder care and related issues, organised a free health camp for 100 underprivileged persons, mostly seniors. Doctors from Curi Hospital checked the patients for health issues; Agarwal Hospital conducted eye checkup and offered followup and free cataract surgery if required.
UDHAVI conferred the best Volunteer Award for outstanding services to the elders recently, to Piravi Perumal who has worked with UDHAVI for the past 6 years.

COVID could not stop us and our elders from having a blast on our 7th anniversary! We also went online like everyone else and held a virtual anniversary celebration on 20 August, 2020. We planned the event for over a month, taking care to ensure that it would be easy for the elders to participate. Hence most of the formal sessions were recorded and the informal event alone was kept open, live.
The “Fitness with Fun” program an UDHAVI initiative supported by SPARRC Institute of Fitness on 25th March 2019, truly lived up to its name -- it sparkled with the laughter and enthusiasm of the participants – to say “elderly or senior citizen” participants would seem an anachronism.
How would you describe an average Tambram elderly lady – “slightly stooped in a Chinnalam pattu or Chungudi sari, doing the rounds of temples in the neighbourhood, attending Kathakalakshebam and free Kutcheries.”
The Rotary Club of Madras Coromandel celebrated their 33rd CharterDay on 28th February 2021 It was an honor for the UDHAVI family,that our founder and chair person ,Mrs Sabita Radhakrishnan,received the Award for SOCIAL WELFARE.
