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.
