Society in Kozhikode

Kozhikode, also known as Calicut, has been declared the second best city to reside in. There are many tourists who can be seen here enjoying themselves and taking advantage of the many beautiful sites and places this city boasts of. The beautiful beaches, the parks, the unique cuisines and the historical monuments are few of the many things that people visiting Kozhikode can enjoy. But what sometimes people are unable to see is the different side of the same coin. Some people in Kozhikode are still living below the poverty line. There are homeless people and there are orphans. Children often have to go to sleep without a meal. Sometimes, they do not even get one meal in the whole day. Children should be going to school, but some children in Kozhikode do not have the financial strength to do that. This gives rise to child labour, which is illegal. There are many such problems which the people of Kozhikode face every single day.

Welfare Organization in Kozhikode

The government and some private companies are doing their part to get rid of these evils in the society. In Kozhikode, you will find orphanages, old age homes, NGOs, and many other societies which are doing a good job to help the people of Kozhikode. People have been given shelter and children are given education. Slowly and steadily, the societies in Kozhikode are rising and people are getting good benefits because of that. Some of the few societies in Kozhikode are given below.

Orphanages in Kozhikode


Orphanages in Kozhikode

Orphanages are known for their help to the children in the age group of 0 to 15. They provide the orphan children with education, food and shelter. Most of the orphanages in Kozhikode are private and are working hard with the money earned from donations or funds. Some of them keep an option of adoption of the children. This is a good thing to do as the children get a chance to have a family and live a normal life. But even if the children do not get adopted, they are taken good care of and are given good facilities till the time they become adults and can fend for themselves in the world outside. In the orphanages of Kozhikode, the personality development of every child is given a lot of importance. Some of the orphanages in Kozhikode are:

Mukkam Muslim Orphanage Committee

When it first began, this orphanage had only 22 orphans. Now it is more than just an orphanage. It is now a complex which has professional institutions, colleges and schools. Its primary aim is to help each child stand on his feet and to help the children acquire all the skills required in any field that they choose. More than 1500 children are here in this orphanage at present. All the children in this orphanage are provided with free clothes, food, medical treatment, accommodation and learning material. The girl orphans are also helped in getting married. They are even funding their inmates to study outside of Kozhikode, like doing IAS coaching etc. The children in this orphanage are not only from Kozhikode but also from cities like Delhi.

The orphanage was awarded the ‘best orphanage’. This award was given by the President of India himself. This award was presented to this orphanage because of the work and contribution they have done in helping the inmates in the field of education.
