Ammavodi Deepika Charitable Trust

Since 2004

Welcome to Ammavodi Deepika

Witness two decades of relentless, selfless service to the forgotten souls of Chittoor.

Our Work in the Community

Every day, our volunteers show up — to feed, to care, to heal, and to serve those who need it most.

Old Age Home

We provide a loving home to 20–30 elderly residents — offering three nutritious meals daily, dignified shelter, and compassionate companionship so they never feel alone.

2,754 Days

Daily Food Distribution

Every single afternoon for over 2,754 consecutive days, we serve hot meals to patients and families at the Government Hospital, Chittoor — without missing a single day.

Volunteers helping homeless people on streets

Street Outreach

Homeless Outreach

We seek out the homeless on Chittoor's streets, gathering them with warmth and providing food, clothing, shade and shelter — restoring dignity to those forgotten by society.

Healthcare

Medical Aid

Our medical outreach provides basic healthcare and first aid to the homeless and underprivileged, ensuring that poverty is never a barrier to receiving medical attention.

Dignity in Death

Last Rites

We ensure dignity in death by conducting respectful last rites and funerals (Dahana Samskara) for unclaimed bodies, having laid over 1,800 souls to rest.

The Man Behind the Mission

Sri Padmanabha Naidu

He is not a politician or a corporate billionaire. He is a man who saw unimaginable suffering on the streets of Chittoor and simply refused to look away.

Since 2004, Sri Padmanabha Naidu has dedicated his life to those society throws away. Whether he is physically washing the wounds of a dying homeless man, or personally serving hot meals to hundreds at the Government Hospital, he leads by example. He has not missed a single day of service in over 2,754 days.

"I cannot sleep knowing someone outside is shivering or starving. As long as I have breath, they will have a father, a son, a brother in me."

The Hall of Honor

To Our Unsung Heroes

Finding volunteers like this is rare. These are individuals who serve with absolute devotion, expecting nothing in return.

They do not care about their own comfort or who they are helping. Whether it is stepping into difficult situations, embracing those society has forgotten, or tirelessly organizing meals, they do it with a smile. They feed, they care, and they restore dignity to every soul they meet. They never ask for a single rupee or an ounce of recognition. They just show up whenever the call comes.

"This isn't just volunteering; this is absolute, unconditional humanity. You ask for zero fame and zero applause, but today we want to honor you. You are the true heartbeat of Ammavodi Deepika."
