Mr Manickam had also volunteered at SANA for 26 years. He counselled drug addicts to guide them to steer clear of drugs. Mr Gopikumar, who was the Chairman of SANA aftercare counselling from 1985 to 2005, fondly recollects Manickam’s contribution at SANA. He says, “Manickam makes an effort to visit the drug addicts in prison on alternate days. The addicts miss him a lot when he does not turn up for his visits due to some exigencies.” Manickam is also a well-respected man among the volunteers in SANA. He had received the highest award “ Ponnadai” from SANA Hindu after care counselling.
