During her later years, Mrs. Parvathi became a volunteer at the Buona Vista Indian Activities Executive Committee (IAEC). There she helped organise Deepavali shows with her friends and daughter. She enjoyed working on these shows very much. At these Deepavali shows, 5 tables would always be set-aside for the needy and elderly who come for these shows to enjoy the food and entertainment. Mrs Parvathi remembers how these residents would always leave with a big smile, looking forward to the next one. Seeing her work having a big impact on such people reinforced Mrs Parvathi’s conviction in community work. 

She later joined as a volunteer at the IAEC in Ghim Moh as they had more needs. Organising events for the community aside, Mrs. Parvathi was also an auditor for the IAEC and a treasurer at the senior citizen's group. She also used to organise educational tours for the children at the CC. Mrs. Parvathi felt the strong need to help the needy students around her community and started the initiative of coordinating SINDA classes at the CC. This program ran every Saturday for the last 10 years. This was one activity, which Mrs Parvathi always looked forward to and performed with much passion and enthusiasm.
