Serving with Purpose
Evr Periyar Peravai Charitable Trust is committed to meaningful service and social upliftment through education, welfare, community support, and compassionate action.
Born from a calling
to serve.
EVR Peryar Peravai Charitable Trust was founded with a singular purpose — to carry forward the transformative ideals of Periyar E.V. Ramasamy into meaningful, ground-level action. What began as a small group of dedicated individuals in Virugambakkam has grown into a trusted community institution.
Under the leadership of Director R. Munusamy and Executive Director P. Preetha, the trust has expanded its reach across education, food support, family welfare, and community upliftment — touching thousands of lives each year.
"Service to humanity is the greatest act of worship — that is the spirit behind everything we do."
— R. Munusamy, Director
