Our Story

"Nal" means goodness. "Vidhai" means seed.

"NALVIDHAI continues to sow seeds of change — one initiative, one life, and one community at a time."

— Karunya Lakshmi Sampath, Managing Trustee

Founded in 2012, Nalvidhai spent its first seven years in broad, hands-on village work around Coimbatore — toilets built in thirteen villages, health camps, tree plantations, disaster response.

Since FY 2024-25, that groundwork has become a sharper, partnership-led model: fewer, larger, named projects.

Nalvidhai operates as the CSR trust of Payoda Technologies — every rupee is tied to a name, a village, or an institution, never a vague cause.

Education

In March 2026, we watched teachers and students walk into a classroom that didn't exist a year earlier.

The Vangal classroom block — funded in two ₹5,00,000 instalments with the Rotary Club of Karur Young Gen, completed and inaugurated in March 2026. 150+ students benefit annually.
