STARS, the official social work organisation of Calicut CMI province has been established in the year 1991. This organisation works in the field of disabilities-especially Mental Disability, Women, children and environment at Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur and Kazargode districts of Kerala, Chamarajnagar district of Karnataka and Nilgiris of Tamilnadu. The main objective of the organisation is the inclusion of the socially and economically excluded sections of the society to the mainstream. We give greater importance in making our intervention more community oriented. We believe in the power and attitude of the people rather than centralized and institutional initiatives. STARS believe in greater transparency and people's participation in its interventions. 

Our seventeen years experience gave us the courage and confidence to do something substantially in our area of work by actively involving in the development initiatives.

Even though the official name of STARS is St. Thomas Association for Rural Services it is popularly known as A Society for Total Advancement and Rehabilitation Services-STARS.
