Many other services are being done in the field of treatment, education and public works. Apart from this, through the promotion of medicinal plants in the name of Ayur Village Project, it is possible to ensure the availability of Ayurveda to the people at all levels of the society and to make economic benefits to the people through medicinal cultivation. In this way, while individuals are benefiting themselves, the society is spearheading philanthropic activities such as devising and implementing action plans to save the society from debt. Apart from this, free medical camps are being conducted in the vicinity of Kanjirapalli to bring out the endless possibilities of Ayurveda and to provide medical assistance and other services to the needy patients. Through this, it has been possible to bring Ayurveda to thousands of people. For all these activities the society is getting good response from the public, concerned officials and people’s representatives. The Governing Body of this Society has decided to further expand the service area and carry out more charity based projects. Thus, the governing body is working tirelessly to make it a movement that provides help to people from all walks of life.
