Navjyothi Seva Samithi is a registered social service organization working in and around chennai, tamilnadu, India. Navjyothi was started working for the upliftment of the poor without any discretion of caste, color and creed in 1995.

Navjyothi started its primary school, the Navjyothi Primary School to give non-formal education in Tamil to the poor children. Brilliant poor students are given aid by providing them free education support in formal schools. We have been providing free educational support to poor childrens for their studies in schools and at university level since 2002-03.

Navjyothi Seva Samithi has set up a free cloth bank in Chennai which collects used clothes and arranges for free cloth distribution in and around Chennai.

Navjyothi has set up free family counseling since alcoholism and other social evils are wide spread amongst the poor, along with monthly free medical camps. We have been helping the women to form women self help groups - mathru sangam in achieving them to empower both in social and economical front. We have been providing free food to aged destitute widows living in slums of Chennai as well as helping during times of natural calamities.

Considerable time and effort were spent with many families facing crises as they were in need of urgernt advice and counselling. Over the past years more than 300 families were assisted to solve their problems, which centred essentially on substance abuse and marital relationships. Sensitive issues such as marital discord, extra marital relationships, unlawful living partners, alcoholism were some of the main issues that were identified and addressed.

Today, all over the world, more than ever, the family unity is under heavy stress and crying out for help, and Navjyothi Seva Samithi is doing its best to preserve family harmony in the Durga Nagar area.

Apart from Free Family Counselling, Free Individual Counselling are also given at our office.

Around 350 people, including families and individuals were assisted in their problems, which centred essentially on substance abuse and marital relationship.

We conduct regular meetings for the women in the slums to discuss and share their problems. Also we conduct health education and aware ness classes. There is a Small Savings Scheme started for the ladies to develop their habit of savings. At present 136 ladies are the members of this scheme.

Every year on Christmas Day Gifts are distributed to more than 1000 poor children from different slums in and around Chennai. On Christmas time we visit the nearby villages and slums and present each child with sweets and presents. Through this we spread the message of Christmas to the children and their families of remote places.
