About us

Sowing a movement of peace and harmony.

Naam Vidhaikalam started in 2019, with its head office in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. True to its name, it envisions sowing a movement of peace and harmony in society — committed to the empowerment of children, youth and the underprivileged in and around Chennai.

With a team of hardworking, enthusiastic, like-minded members, we have engaged in a number of projects for the upliftment of the vulnerable throughout the city, and initiated measures to protect and sustain our nature. We believe the small step we take today will make a huge difference tomorrow.

Impact stories

In our volunteers’ words

My journey of one and a half years in Naam Vidhaikalam has been tremendous. I’ve grown more independent and also feel empowered! As the motto of the organisation goes, we are the change makers today — I’m proud to be a part of this wonderful team!
Aishu
Naam Vidhaikalam is one of the trusted organisations. With a team of such enthusiastic youth, we continue serving the underprivileged and working towards the betterment of children. The project that touched my heart is the Rs. 63 Project — to feed the needy.
Yeshwath
A passionate social worker — founder & president of Naam Vidhaikalam, Ms. Monisha Balamurugan — completely dedicated to the community’s development, taking all efforts for the welfare of society.
Daniel John
A better place for volunteers and interns to develop their knowledge of community service. As an intern I gained inputs and ideas for managing an NGO, developing networks, fundraising and community organisation.
