TT Ranganathan Clinical Research Foundation has been conducting free treatment camps in six locations in Tamil Nadu since 1989.

- Providing treatment at the doorsteps of the villagers, tailoring it to suit their needs.
- Creating awareness about the problems associated with drinking and transforming the community into an enabling force to combat alcoholism.
