About Us
The organisation is dedicated to promoting sustainable development of Kodagu by uplifting local underprivileged society & tribal communities while protecting the wildlife and biodiversity in Kodagu. We work closely
with the people of Kodagu to empower them which goes hand in hand with conserving the environment and promoting sustainable development through a range of initiatives.
Inspired by my deep-rooted connection to the land of Kodagu, I embarked on a profound journey of gratitude and compassion. I founded an NGO named “Pavi”. This name not only honors my beloved mother but also represents my commitment to giving back to our cherished motherland.
I have come across impoverished children etched with the burdens of life, diminishing wildlife and tribal communities, all of which are vital to the land of Kodagu. This shaped my values, instilled in me a sense of community, and taught me the importance of preserving and uplifting the lives of its people.
Pavi stands as a beacon of hope, striving to address the diverse needs of the local community. With the love and support of my mother, I am committed to building a legacy of compassion and service in our beloved motherland.
The Kodava community is in need of our support and assistance. We invite you to join hands with us and become a part of our journey.

Brief History
In the picturesque land of Kodagu, nestled in the lush greenery of the Western Ghats, a journey began that would turn one person’s passion into a meaningful endeavor. Deeply connected to the people and culture of this beautiful region, Malvika envisioned a way to give back to the land and its people who had given her so much.
The name "Pavi" not only honors her beloved mother but also reflects her commitment to giving back to this cherished homeland.
Malvika’s journey started as a small personal project. Driven by her love for Kodagu and a desire to make a positive impact, she began by volunteering her time and resources to address the needs of the local community. She focused her efforts on key areas such as education, healthcare, and environmental conservation.
As word spread about Pavi’s initiatives, like-minded individuals from the community were drawn to the cause. They shared Malvika’s passion for making a difference and soon joined her efforts. Together, they worked tirelessly, dedicating countless hours to developing sustainable programs that would uplift the lives of Kodagu's people.
Today, Pavi stands as a testament to the power of passion, dedication, and the desire to make a difference. It embodies love for a mother, love for the land, and love for humanity. As Kodagu continues to thrive, Pavi aims to be a leading force in the region, driving community development, empowering women and youth, and preserving the unique cultural heritage of Kodagu.
