Introduction
In recent years, the varied activities of Sevalaya Nilgiris have received a fillip, thanks to the partnership with many corporate organisations. There is a wide choice of areas across education, healthcare, vocational training, tuition centres, tribal welfare and with alarming regularity, urgent actions in relief and rehabilitation in the face of natural calamities.

Activities (as per CSR Law Schedules) and their Impact
Health Care :
Sevalaya Nilgiris, a ten bed hospital in Gudalur, Nilgiris District serves the local and tribal villagers. The hospital is equipped with facilities including Casualty, Operation Theatre, 1 Delivery Suite, Ultrasound scanner, X- ray, Clinical Laboratory and a Pharmacy. The health services including medicines are provided free of cost to the tribals. On an average the footfall in the hospital is 1,300+ patients per month from 80+ villages. We incur a cost of around ₹300/- per patient.
20+ remote tribal villages are reached through mobile medical vans, serving 1,500+ patients every month. They create awareness on health, sanitation and hygiene aimed at improving health outcomes and also deliver free and quality medicines, 5 days a week to the villagers at their doorsteps.
Regular outreach is also done to distribute essential commodities, ensuring basic nutritional needs.
Quality Education :
Quality education – In a novel initiative to improve education standards of tribal children, Sevalaya has set up 14 After-School Study Centres in tribal villages bordering Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The centres are equipped with smartboards, internet facility, audio-visual equipment, books and so on to bring the children up-to-date with modern education. These centres act as multipurpose centres where a number of educational and awareness activities are taken up to empower the students and the communities. Instead of expecting children to move out of their villages and tribes, we reach them and respect their space and culture. The children are provided with quality education completely free of cost. Nearly 200 children have been enrolled in these centres.
Livelihood:
Livelihood – The traditional lifestyle of the tribal community hinging around farm-based occupations or working in plantations in Gudalur, is poised for a gentle shift. Sevalaya Nilgiris’ Mahakavi Bharathiyar Community College aims at providing girls & women from rural and underprivileged backgrounds with quality vocational training in tailoring, nursing assistant and lab technician assistant courses, preparing them for the job market.. 100 women have benefitted so far.
