The 17th Anniversary of the ‘Udhavum Uravugal’ Organization, which has been continuously assisting war-affected people who lost everything with their education and livelihood development over the past 17 years, was celebrated yesterday (18.10.2026) in Uruthirupuram. Participating as the Chief Guest, the Governor of Northern Province, Nagalingam Vethanayagan emphasized that humanity is paramount, and those who have progressed in life through such assistance should step forward to help those in need in the future.
Recalling that he witnessed the people’s suffering firsthand during his tenure as the Kilinochchi District Secretary at the time of displacement, the Governor praised the service of Subramaniram Vetrivelnathan, Founder of the Organization, who continuously assists for university students and many others through his own efforts even during those critical times. He pointed out during the occasion that money alone is not supreme, but the mindset of helping others and righteousness are enduring.
Stating that assistance rendered with a genuine heart returns manifold, the Governor also extended his wishes for the humanitarian services of the organization to reach many more people.
