Our first initiative for this is mainly based in the field of medicines which is a new arena of identification of disease by noticing the changes in finger patients with chronic disease in comparison with a control group.
Empowerment Activities

Our Areas of Empowerment
Women Empowerment
Though India is developing economically and technologically by leaps and bounds, women here still continue to be discriminated.
Empowering women to participate fully in economic life across all sectors and throughout all levels of economic activity is essential to build strong economics and establish more stable and just societies. It also propels countries to achieve their internationally agreed goals for development,sustainability and human right as well as improve the quality of life for women, men, families and communities.
‘Vanitha Vedhi’ aimed for Women Empowerment aims at developing and enhancing soft skills. Every year we trained nearly 4000 beneficiaries, by giving apt training for them and nearly across of 50 SHGs were formed so far which become a livelihood for many of the families.
Youth Empowerment
India’s current demographic profile is heavily loaded in the favour of youth. Hence the development of India is inextricably linked with the development of youth.
The main objective of youth welfare activities is to encourage and support active participation of youth in the process of socially valuable and development of personality of the youth by utilizing their positive energy. Efforts are being made to provide youth with ample opportunities to develop their skills, capabilities, personality and become good citizens of the country. In order to give an insight to youth on the functioning and management of youth related activities and programmes and also to develop their personality and leadership qualities, our organization organize camps and youth festivals.
Rural Empowerment
It is often said that India lives in its villages. The rural areas are characterized by large scale poverty, low levels of productivity, lack of adequate basic minimum service and social reforms. Upliftment of rural areas is the need for the advancement of modern world. The reasons attributed to the failure in achieving the desired objectives is the lack of appropriate orientation of our rural development programs. A need was felt by our organization to empower the rural folk so as to promote infrastructure for improving the quality of life of rural masses through income generation programmes and awareness camps. When implementing skill development training we give preferences to the rural masses.
Tribal Empowerment
Projects are being submitted to subsequent Ministries to awaken them as they are the most deprived masses in the society. This will be the most highlighted programme of us in the coming years.

Literacy Programmes
Literacy is the ability to read and write its regional language. They are the basic indicator of the level of development achieved by the society. Kerala’s rural literacy rate is comparable to its urban literacy rate as NGO and other voluntary agencies got involved in campaigning literacy programmes along with the government authorities. INF supports government in running post literacy and continuing education programmes with the objectives of total eradication of illiteracy in well defined areas. Our literacy programmes are mainly concentrated in backward areas of Pathanamthitta, Kasargode and Wynadu.

We used to conduct Medical Camps in remote rural areas of many districts of Kerala to aid the rural poor.

Road Safety Programmes
