Who We Are
Founded on July 27, 2021—the Memorial Day of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam—Agni Nizhalgal Foundation is a youth-led non-profit organization based in Erode District, Tamil Nadu. Formed by a group of passionate youngsters below the age of 26, the Foundation works with a shared vision to build a world driven by humanity, environmental responsibility, and compassion.
Inspired by Dr. Kalam’s ideals, we strive to create a hunger-free and sustainable society through various initiatives including environmental awareness programs, food drives, and community service activities.
"Agni Nizhalgal" (Shadows of Fire) symbolizes young minds carrying forward the flame of change.
Our Mission
- Create awareness on environmental conservation.
- Empower youth to lead sustainability initiatives.
- Eradicate hunger through food distribution.

- Serve society selflessly with integrity.
Our Vision
To build a sustainable, hunger-free, and compassionate society where every individual, especially the youth, actively contributes towards protecting nature, serving humanity, and upholding the values of peace and collective growth inspired by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s vision.
Why Youth-Led?
At Agni Nizhalgal Foundation, we believe that youth are the true catalysts of change. With energy, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility, young people have the power to transform society through action and innovation.
Our foundation is led by members below the age of 26, representing a generation that refuses to wait for change — instead, we create it. We see the youth not merely as beneficiaries, but as leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers.
