Many babies are thrown by their parents in bus stands and near the theaters. Sometimes these babies are not even considered as a human being and are thrown in dustbins. Many children are thrown only because poverty and illegal affairs. In some rare case some children are abandoned by their well to do parents only because the children are handicap or mentally affected.

They also go to the extreme of enlighten their future and dreams by providing them proper and excellent education. Psychiatric patients welfare by Udavum Karangal

Vidya Niketan was started in 1997 with about 150 children. This school provides free education and imparts value based education not only to the abandoned children but also to the poor children's from the locality. Since the nearby government school in Tiruverkadu doesn't provide any facility for proper education, poor children in and around Tiruverkadu study in this Vidya Niketan.

A service to the under developed community is the community service. When this organization was started, Tiruverkadu was just an undeveloped village. But now it is slowly developing due to the great development of the Udavum karangal. The community service provided by the organization mainly focuses upon the women's from the under privileged society so that they get good salary, good respect and status in both their families and society. These boost their interest towards the work which leads to increase in their economic status. Several programs are conducted by Udavum karangal for developing the downtrodden society.

The poor parents, who work in construction work and as domestic maid, can't take care of their crawling babies during working hours. So in order to relieve them from their stress and tension 'Annai crèches' is run by the organization, so that the poor parents may leave their children in these crèches. Women's from the under privileged society must stand in their own legs to meet their day to day life. To help these under privileged women's a 'school for tailoring' has been run by Udavum karangal, so that illiterate women's can learn easily and earn for their living. Till date over 70 students have benefited from the tailoring school and they are employed at the export houses at high salaries. Since the Coimbatore campus is close to the court premises, a free legal service is provided by the court. The court provides free legal aid and support to fight against injustices done to women by powerful members of the society. Justice is delivered for the women who are affected by Dowry hassles, property disputes, or other harassment.
