Even though it's the state in the peak of educational development, recent happenings and incidents in Kerala briefed out that the humanity is in hunger. But, there are people who deem the sorrows of the slums, the pangs of hunger, the agony of disease, and the helplessness of orphan hood, as their own. They can identify the needs and provide the right service at the right moment for nothing but self-satisfaction. But being single could not feed a large bunch of lower income and marginalized group and hence organizations were formed out with the help of likeminded volunteers.
The veteran social worker and the then RSS Sarsanghachalak Shri Balasaheb Deoras addressed a mammoth gathering of volunteers at Ambedkar Stadium, Delhi, on 8 April 1978, where he called upon them to start service activities among the neglected sections of the society. He asked the volunteers to raise self-respect of the socially and economically deprived people of India. This speech is considered to be the initiating first step that led tostarting the Sevabharathi.Although the volunteers of RSS and other allied organization's had been informally working for the betterment of the under-privileged, it was opined that a formal structure would help coordinate the service programs all over the country.
Over the years, Sevabharathi has come a long way in servicing its avowed objective. The modest move has culminated into a massive movement. The humble foundation has flowered into a mammoth institution. Today, Sevabharathi has its presence spread across the entire country with an extensive range of charitable and community development activities.
