Kerala (Regd. No. S 23/2000)
Mathil had a prominent role in the field of charity for long
years. This was the place, as its history says, where the
distinguished people who participated in the ‘Yaga’ were
accommodated. Until recently, there was a ‘Thanneer Pandal’ at
Mathil where the pedestrians of long journey quenched their thirst
at gratis. Charity and co-operation were regarded as the
predominant factors of life and thus it is continued even now.
KARUNA, at Mathil a charitable society is a magnificent example of
such virtues.

at the dawn of 21st Century, adds a golden feather on
the splendid and glorious heritage of Mathil.

activities of the public apart from its philanthropic services to
the poor patients. It was formed by a group of people who have no
vested motives but on rendering humble services and financial help
to the poor patients as well as those who are left destitute.
