He was fully involved in running this Trust to achieve appreciable success in the empowerment of poor women of our area. Though fully happy with the projects and their achievements, he felt some gap in fulfilling his aim of the overall development of the area - the downtrodden one of Madurai District.

Agriculture
Our aim is to advance agriculture towards integrated, multi-crop farming practices that are organic in nature, relying on cattle populations instead of chemical fertilizers and tractors. To facilitate this transition, we plan to establish Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) to provide training, networking opportunities, and access to government welfare schemes. Additionally, we aim to promote the production of value-added agricultural products to make farming a profitable business venture. To realize this vision, we have outlined the following projects:
* Training farmers in the preparation of organic fertilizers and pesticides.
* Organizing Farmer Producer Organizations.
* Promoting integrated food systems and multi-crop cultivation.
* Establishing nursery gardens to encourage the growth of fruit and timber trees.
* Constructing check dams and desilting water bodies to enhance groundwater levels.
Promoting the use of renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, and cow dung.
