During this period the club has served the poor and needy by rendering assistance in the fields of healthcare, education, employment and charity. It has held various medical camps for eye screening, cataract surgery, corneal transplantation and for general checkup. The club has provided medicines and medical insurance cover to many and sponsored numerous scholarships and educational tools for the students belonging to the weaker sections of society. It has also provided occasional aid to Government schools in the form of books and uniforms. The club has helped women and the physically challenged to embark upon self-employment. Providing financial aid to orphanages, poor homes, and institutions for the mentally retarded is a regular activity of the club. Further, during this 2010-2011 Lionistic Year, as envisaged by Lions District 324 E1, the Lions Club of Trivandrum Metropolis proposes to undertake many more projects.
