One day when Dr.J. Jesumani Charles was in his prayer, he received God's message and his inner self said "extend help to the poor and orphans" which was his purpose of life. After he received this message from God he started educating the impoverished disabled children, orphans and children of widows,. In 1989 he formed an association to help the poor, orphan and disabled children. Through his efforts more than 50 children have been educated and they are all self-supportive and many are working as a teacher, nurse, typist etc. His association was named as RATCHAGAM and was registered as a Trust on May 2012.
