We also aim to bring about good facilities for children by renovating and supporting enhancement of classrooms and toilets to increase Hygiene.

We provide support guidance to students on the various success path to follow after high school through career guidance camps.

Our Causes

John Devavaram Memorial Trust aims in providing support to children who are marginalized and underprivileged. The Trust works to meet the need of the children and lend hands for various causes which includes Higher education, Health Camps, Career Guidance, Sanitation improvement projects, Stationery support for poor children and access to Common Library. 

பெண் கல்வி வாசிப்பு மையம்

The பெண் கல்வி வாசிப்பு மையம் was launched across 18 villages in Phase One in loving memory of Dr John Devavaram, with the valuable support of Tamil Nadu Science Forum, especially Mr. Bose Pandian and Mrs. Muthu Kumari.

Higher education

We provide support to students who are very poor and marginalized to pursue higher education and achieve their dream. Eligible students will fill in the scholarship form and submit for review. After verification the desired number of students will be selected each year and scholarship will be provided.

Health camps

Health camps to be arranged in Villages as per need where children can come in for a quick consultation and guidance on nutrition and remedies to other illness. General checkup and multivitamins to be provided as per need to boost up their wellness. Also guidance on major illness and the path forward will be provided to support their abilities.

Career Guidance

Once a year career guidance camps to be arranged for students who are completing their 12th standard or completing their bachelor degree and planning to pursue Masters degree can attend the session to know the current market trend and also the various opportunities in the market. This session is aimed at providing the students with a clarity on what to choose next in their career and take that path accordingly.

Sanitation improvement projects

This project support is aimed at bringing a reasonable hygienic restroom facilities to students where the basic need is missing. This includes both the renovation of existing facilities in schools and other education institutions where it is lacking and also new structures where it is completely missing. We also aim to bring a modern classroom concept in villages where the students get exposed to latest technologies and methods of teaching.

Stationery support for poor children

We support students by providing the basic stationery support like notebooks, pen, pencils, eraser, sharpner, colour pencils etc which will encourage the students to write, draw and paint more and bring out their inner talent and explore new possibilities. This small support can bring about more interest in learning and reduce the parents burden.

Common Library

This is a new initiative to form a library in a common location, preferably one of the many field offices of Dr. John Devavaram. This library will be loaded with a bunch of interest areas related books on science, social work, general stories and other subjects. This will bring about a habit within the children to read more and gain knowledge in the various areas. This will help them kindle the spark within them to be more innovative and go beyond boundaries.
