                    The Mayiliragu Foundation launched a "Children’s Reading Club" for school children with the goal of instilling reading habits in them. In the first phase, 40 students from the sixth grade at  St Mary's School in Madurai were taught the value of reading, as well as how to improve their reading skills. Everyone eagerly participated in the interactive session, which included activities and games. Students' reading abilities improved to the point where they could read one book per month. This was a great accomplishment and encouragement for us to continue further.

                 Listening to people who read a lot, is equivalent to reading a thousand books at once. Recognizing this, the Mayiliragu Foundation, in collaboration with the “ Meenakshi Mission Hospital” in Madurai, organised a programme called "Udale Nalama" that focused on health care and how to care of one's own body. The fact that this once-a-month event has benefited not only readers, but also illiterate people is a great accomplishment for the Mayiliragu Academy.

"Without Knowledge, action is useless. Knowledge without action is futile”

– Abu Bakr

                To make sure that we do not stop at just reading, Mayilaragu Foundation launched a programme called " My Toilet, My Right" in collaboration with the Government of India's " Swach Bharat Abhiyan." We not only raised awareness about toilet cleaning among rural residents, but we also went to over eight villages with over sixty volunteers to assist them in cleaning the toilets. It was one of the most memorable moments in the Foundation's history.

"Leaders don't create followers; they create more leaders.”

– Tom Peters

               Mayiliragu Foundation believes that a good leader is the future of the country and therefore was involved in the effort to develop future leaders in colleges. The #LDP ( Leadership Development Program) programme was introduced to more than 50 NSS students at the  Thiagarajar Arts College in Madurai in the first phase. A four-day seminar led by experts from various fields was organised to assist participants in identifying their strengths and skill sets, as well as exercises to help them develop leadership skills.

              It is a source of great pride for us that many of these students volunteered to join our Foundation.
