Magizchi Pongal 2025
On January 11, 2025, the Tamilnadu Differently Abled Federation Charitable Trust (TNDFCT) hosted the Magizchi Pongal 2025 celebration at Fedabled Arrangam. The event brought together 50 differently-abled couples, married through the Trust, along with their children.

The celebration was graced by distinguished guests of honor, including:
