Grama Sevika Scheme

Women with an inclination for service are encouraged to contribute their time and energy for the uplift of the downtrodden in remote villages. These volunteers are called Grama Sevikas. These sevikas are married women who stay with their families. Each sevika is assigned a few villages near her home. She regularly spends several hours every day organising the following multifaceted activities in those villages, contributing to their all-round development:

Weekly Samskar Kendra, Bhajans
Monthly Deepa Pooja, Mahila Sangham
Periodically Sports and games (especially during Pongal), Akshara Abhyasam during Vijayadasami, Village get-together

Sevabharathi Tamilnadu pays an honorarium to the grama sevikas, in addition to reimbursing their travel expenses.
