Nizhal Maiyam had its humble beginning in the year 1998 by group of young likeminded friends, under the leadership of B.Murugan, with an urge to serve the socially weaker section at large. The member of the Nizhal Maiyam are all teetotalers. We did not believe in charity. We do not run schools, orphanages or dispensaries.
“It is not the law of nature to be always taking gifts with outstretched hands like beggars. To give and take is the law of nature”.
-Swami Vivekanandha
Inspired by swami vivekanandha, Nizhal Maiyam extended its activity in the year 1998 to preserve the environment by initiating planting of trees-PASUMAI in different parts of the district. A minimum of 10 saplings are planted every week. All these saplings were being planted only for our wish. We don’t provide saplings for free
In the last decade our team with the support of local residents of the tree planting area, have planted more than 66,445 trees last date;31.05.2024. We create awareness and insist the local area people to take care of the saplings. All these good deed are always supported by the people of coimbatore. From May 2024 we are not providing any free saplings for any one as we are not having any available funds, but we are providing food for the road side people daily. We have been continuously receiving over 100 phone calls a day regarding free saplings which led us to stop planting trees itself. Avoid asking us ideas about tree saplings. DONT ASK ANYTHING FOR FREE
A project initited by our own members towards regular feeding of underprivileged children,physically and mentally challenged children and children in orphanages.
The Mission began in a small way with a contribution of Rs.100/- from each member,towards serving of food to children on a Sunday,once in a month.The small beginning gained momentum and in the following years reached a stage of serving food on all Sundays. Today more than 1000 children from socially weaker sections are provided with food on Sundays at different locations in and arround Coimbatore.

B.Murugan makes it a point to feed poor childrenon Sundays. "B.murugan, the founder of "Nizhal Maiyam",has probably taken a leaf out of the life of MGR".Such good efforts need all encouragement and support
