Lady Doak College integrates service-learning into the curriculum, providing an experiential learning environment to students. Life Frontier Engagement (LiFE) gives students the ability to evaluate community needs, plan interventions, and put forth solutions to problems that the community is currently facing. All departments have themes that correspond with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Arittapatti was declared the first Biodiversity Heritage Site of Tamil Nadu by the state government in 2022, during World Heritage Week, thanks to the service learning programme, LiFE and the interventional research and surveys carried out by the final-year undergraduate history students over a period of three years from 2015-2018. The Centre for LiFE offered consultancy services to five colleges that received funding from United Board to either introduce service-learning into their curriculum or to strengthen their existing service-learning programme. A partnership between the Centre for LiFE and the Honourable Member of Parliament, Mr. Su. Venkatesan, was started in the academic year 2022–2023. The students completed 33 project-based development activities in the villages that were adopted under the Central Government Scheme Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY), which focuses on the creation of Model villages. Arittapatti, Veerapandi, Thuvariman, and Chinnapatti were adopted by the Hon’ble MP, Mr. Venkatesan under the SAGY.
