MANAGING TRUSTEE MESSAGE 2026
Dear Friends and Well-Wishers,
My father, Mr. C. Jacob, lived a life dedicated to selfless service. Beginning his career as a hospital employee, his compassion and commitment to humanity touched people across all communities. He quietly supported the poor, underprivileged, and many needy students throughout his life.
At the time of his passing, the large gathering of people from diverse backgrounds who came to pay their respects deeply moved me. It revealed the profound impact he had made as a humanitarian and inspired me to dedicate my life to social service by continuing his legacy.
While working as a consultant Biochemist for five hospitals in Chennai, I initiated relief efforts during the 2004 floods in Tirumullaivoyal, distributing essential supplies to affected families with the support of friends and well-wishers. This experience strengthened my resolve to serve society.
For over 20 years, through Blessings Life Foundation Trust, I have been actively involved in social service across Tamil Nadu—from Chennai to Kanyakumari—focusing on healthcare, education, livelihood support, food security, agriculture, and environmental conservation.
I hold an M.Sc. in Biochemistry and an M.D. in Acupuncture, and have served as a senior Consultant Biochemist in reputed hospitals in Chennai. To strengthen our mission, the Trust now operates with a Governing Board, Executive Board, Core Committee, and sub-committees, ensuring transparent and effective governance.
Our vision is to serve all districts of Tamil Nadu, expand across India, and ultimately reach global communities—believing that village development leads to national progress.
I sincerely thank everyone who has supported us. Together, let us continue building a compassionate and inclusive society.
With warm regards and gratitude,
Dr. Ravi Jacob
