Alleviating the suffering and poverty of the rural poor around Poorandampalayam — through relief, education and medical care since 1989.
Thangavel Charitable Trust was founded on 8th December 1989 and legally registered on 15th December 1989 at Poorandampalayam village, Sultanpet Block, Sulur Taluk, in the district of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu — by a committed social worker, Mr. Thangavel.
The Trust began with a simple, noble objective: to alleviate the suffering and poverty of the rural poor of the surrounding locality. Initially, children of resource-poor families of Poorandampalayam and neighbouring villages were supported with better clothing, educational supplies and supplementary education.
Keeping this vision, by the year 1990 the Trust started the Kalaimagal Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Poorandampalayam — today educating thousands of children every year.
The major objectives that guide every activity of Thangavel Charitable Trust.
While translating its objectives into concrete reality, the Trust has made remarkable achievements over three decades of successful existence.
On its 25-acre campus at Poorandampalayam, the Trust is planning a two-year project to expand the Kalaimagal school and establish a multi-specialty hospital and an elderly care home right alongside it — bringing learning and healthcare together in one place, at an estimated investment of ₹50 crore.
Beyond its flagship campus project, the Trust has drawn up an ambitious long-term roadmap of 22 new initiatives — to give the rural poor the basic needs of life (food, shelter and clothing), quality healthcare, and opportunities to learn and earn — with a total estimated outlay of about ₹5,000 crore.
across 22 planned initiatives — a long-term vision so that no one is left behind.
Whether you wish to enrol your child, support our charitable work, or simply visit the campus — we would love to hear from you.
