It is scientifically proved that the brain development of a child ceases at the age 2 years. Therefore, Scientists have advised of having early intervention to children in the age group of 0 to 3 years.
Nice Foundation conducts early intervention activities in several Chengalpattu and Denkanikottai of Chengalpattu location of Kancheepuram District and Denkanikottai of Krishnagiri District. Activities like periodical health screening and medical check-up and providing nutritional supplements to pregnant women, including supplementary food. Lactating mother are given health drinks and weaning food, basing on the need and advice of physician. Thus, Nice Foundation weights the height and weight of babies during their infancy and childhood. Along with the growth monitoring system, parents’ awareness on child rearing, child psychology, health awareness and immunization was also created.
Health is a major concern in rural and tribal areas especially among children, youth, women and the aged. The ratio of health care facilities available for slum population is comparatively lower in numbers and quality. They have to walk for several kilometers to get treated for even minor illness and if the treatment is available in a hospital setting, they have to reach the district headquarter. Because of this reason, slum people show rare interest in their health and health related activities. On the other hand, private clinics are not affordable as they are economically not that sound.
Keeping their problems in mind, Nice Foundation organizes slum based health camps in different Chengalpattu and Denkanikottai of Chengalpattu and Denkanikottai District. Through this camp, 500 Chengalpattu and Denkanikottai dwellers are health screened and advised on time to prolong their life.
These camps address the basic health problems of children, women, youth, and aged and men folks. Patients who are identified for long-term care would be referred to the nearest government hospital.
Family awareness camps enable needy families to plan better for the future, including parents, children and girl child in the family.
This family awareness camp is a response to the flooded requests to the Trust. Family ties are strong in rural families and are often influenced by lack of awareness in common agenda of life. Families who often attend this two-day camp are highly motivated to be the best and rightly lead their families happily.

Education leads to empowerment and makes a person independent and productive.

Under this scholarship programme there are 4 students got benefited and continuing their education.
Aged and poor are the double the time deprived and they obviously look for help from the haves. Urbanization and lack of financial back up leaves many aged and needy poor without adequate food, water, clothing and medical care.

The main problem for the small farmers is that they compose a majority of farmers below subsistence level. Not benefitted by any governmental or non-governmental programs, they are unable to raise their voices through the planning processes.
This makes small farmers unable to get agricultural loans, inputs, and services, and leads to a deteriorated state of living. Furthermore, there is no matching process of the delivery and receiving mechanism of the services and facilities available to the small farmers.
The basic philosophy of the projects to aid small farmers is:To organize the small farmers and landless laborers into grass root groups
To provide and support different income-raising agricultural activities to make small farmers self-reliant
To increase their capacity to raise their voices for services to be provided
To initiate a research studies to make the small farmers’ programme an integral part of local and regional programs.
