In the field of social and cultural activities, Kanjirapally has a legitimate claim of substantial progress, and development among the major towns of Kerala. The culture, harmony and philanthropy of the People of Kanjirapally are the chief factors responsible for the achievements in this field. The progress attained in this sphere may also be attributed to the selfless work and enthusiasm of some of the leading persons of the locality. The affluence or the special circumstances or the positions held by such men did not deter them from action, and their responsibilities to their fellow-men without distinction of caste or creed have been fulfilled to a great extent.

Kanjirapally can feel proud of "Abhayabhavan", a home for the destitute and the poor, run by the Social Relief Association. Donations from the public, subscriptions from the association members, and occasional grant-in-aid from Government agencies ensure the smooth functioning of Abhayabhavan.

Rotary International is the association of Rotary Clubs throughout the world. Its offices serve as clearing houses for all Rotary Clubs, aiding in the standardisation of their practices and in the translation of the ideal of service into business and community life.
