SARWODEEP, short for St. Anne’s Rural Women Development Education and Empowerment Programme, is a transformative initiative rooted in Jayaraj Annapackiam College for Women (Autonomous) in Periyakulam, Tamil Nadu. Established in 1995, SARWODEEP's mission is to nurture social responsibility and intellectual creativity among young women. Initially focused on uplifting the economically disadvantaged and uneducated in Periyakulam Block, SARWODEEP initially provided sewing training, empowering women to earn and form savings groups. Over time, SARWODEEP has broadened its scope to include women's empowerment, youth development, skill-building, health education, and welfare programs for widows, disabled children, and Tribal communities. Through its various units, including day care centers, vocational training centers, and self-help groups, SARWODEEP has made significant strides in uplifting the marginalized in and around Periyakulam, Theni District.
