Guruvayoor: “Drishya”, a group of around 100 volunteers who have been inactive in Gurupavanapuri for the past four decades, is making progress in Guruvayoor through social interaction and implementation of various projects in the field of arts and cultural services. Last year as a part of the service project, the ongoing philanthropic sustainable project “Jeevanam” was inaugurated by providing free dialysis facility to benefit many people.
