About Udavum Karangal (NGO)

Even as a child, Vidyaakar was deeply touched by the suffering he saw all around him and wanted to do something about it. Serving humanity was the true calling of his life. His education and work experience moulded him to become a competent and compassionate Social Worker.


One day an abandoned baby was brought to him and when no one came forward to claim the baby, Vidyaakar decided to bring up the baby himself. Thus Udavum Karangal (means Helping Hands in Tamil) was started in a humble way in a hut in Chennai by Mr. Vidyaakar, fondly called by children as “ Pappa” . More children and aged destitute women joined the family.


Udavum Karangal is a Registered, Non-profit, Non-governmental, Social service Organisation engaged in taking care of distressed people.


Today Udavum Karangal has grown into an internationally reputed service organization acclaimed for serving humanity with love and care for the past 37 years. Udavum Karangal’s services can be broadly classified into Residential Care and Community Outreach.
