Coromandel International Limited, one of India’s leading agri-solutions providers, has enhanced healthcare facilities at the Government Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Thiruchopuram by inaugurating a Siddha Herbal Garden and sponsoring essential medical equipment and other infrastructure. The initiative, undertaken as part of Coromandel’s Coro Arogya programme, aims to strengthen preventive care and improve access to basic health services for rural communities in and around Thiruchopuram and Thiyagavalli panchayats of Cuddalore district.
The project involved setting up a dedicated Siddha Herbal Garden within the PHC premises to promote traditional wellness practices aligned with the Tamil Nadu Government’s emphasis on Siddha healthcare. In addition, Coromandel supported the centre with essential medical apparatus and basic furnishings—including patient benches, tables, chairs, and storage units—to improve service delivery and patient comfort.
The inauguration ceremony was graced by Government officials including Dr. Senthilkumar, MD – District Siddha Medical Officer; Dr. Vijayalakshmi, Assistant Siddha Medical Officer; Health Inspector; Panchayat President; and other village leaders. The event also saw participation from Mr. Srinivasan K B, Vice President & Business Head – Bioproducts, Mr. JayagopalChathur, Head CSR, Mr. Ashok Balaji S, DGM & Unit Head – Bioproducts, and other senior employees from Coromandel.
The initiative is expected to benefit thousands of families by expanding the reach and improving the quality of healthcare services in the region. The Siddha Herbal Garden will support wellness practices including Siddhar Kaya Karpam, Pranayamam, Yogam, and Thokkanam, while the medical support provided will enhance clinical care and overall patient experience.
Dr. Senthilkumar, MD – District Siddha Medical Officer commented:“The establishment of a Siddha Herbal Garden within the Thiruchopuram PHC is a valuable addition that will help promote traditional wellness practices among rural communities. By integrating Siddha with primary healthcare, we are empowering people with holistic treatment options. We appreciate Coromandel International’s thoughtful support in strengthening the PHC’s capabilities and aligning with the state’s vision for promoting indigenous healthcare systems.”
Mr. Srinivasan K B, Vice President & Business Head – Bioproducts, Coromandel International, added:
