Since
2004
Idhayangal Charitable Trust was founded in 2004 by a group of Indian doctors working in the UK. The organization aims to provide medical aid to underp Read morerivileged individuals, especially children, in India. The four founding trustees were Dr. Krishnan Swaminathan, Dr. Suresh Mathavakannan, Dr. Sabapathy Prakash, and Dr. Nambi, all of whom were consultants in the UK. The trust began with just ₹800 and, by 2011, had completed projects worth ₹80 lakhs in India. After the managing trustee, Dr. Krishnan Swaminathan, relocated to India, Idhayangal UK was dissolved in 2011. Inspired by seven years of impactful projects, the Idhayangal team continues its work in India, ensuring that every rupee is dedicated to our initiatives.
