Speciality:
"Akshaya Trust Chennai is a registered NGO and old age home that provides shelter and care to over 400 deserving senior citizens. Founded and managed by Mr G. Gopalan, the trust is dedicated to offering a safe and loving home to elderly individuals who have been abandoned by their families. Akshaya Trust is the first old-age home in Tamil Nadu to be registered with the Social Stock Exchange. It is among the first 100 NGOs listed on the NSE across India, showcasing its commitment to transparency and social impact. The heart of Akshaya Trust lies in its dedicated staff, who provide care that mirrors the warmth and support of a real family. Beyond just being a shelter, the home creates a haven where residents find purpose and a sense of belonging. Regularly organised activities and outings keep residents engaged and entertained. Special trips to temples and places of interest bring joy and excitement to their lives, allowing them to experience moments of happiness and fulfilment.
2026 Update: Akshaya Trust currently cares for over 400+ senior citizens across seven homes located in Mudichur, Pallikaranai, Valasaravakkam, Pallavakkam, Velappanchavadi, KK Nagar, and Arpakkam. Out of these, 80 elders are completely bedridden and receive round-the-clock care. They provide free housing, nutritious meals, medical care, entertainment, and most importantly, love and dignity to destitute elders. Their facilities include clean and spacious rooms, western toilets, washing machines, solar power, and generators to ensure uninterrupted comfort. Each resident has personal lockers for their belongings, and they strive to create a compassionate environment where vulnerable individuals receive care and opportunities for growth. They also run Akshaya Vidyalaya, a free English medium school for over 240 underprivileged students, and continue to expand their community development efforts with transparency and sustainability."
