Sugam Vedashram is a charity project in Chandrapadi, Tamil Nadu, India. Sugam Vedashram was established after a tsunami hit Asia on 26 December 2004 and left close to 100 orphans in this area. The project was funded by Gasunie Engineering B.V., a division of N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie. The project is locally managed by Bandhua Mukti Morcha (BMM), by Udayan Care, and by a Dutch representation consisting of Mark Samuels and Jan Hulsbergen.

Sugam provides education to children of all ages, and vocational training to adults. The Sugam Vedashram project supports development of people regardless of caste, gender, or religion. The building in which training is provided has been constructed by local people, with local equipment and local materials.

During the opening of the Centre at 19 October 2008 the Union Minister for Panchayat Raj Mani Shankar Aiyar was present with all project partners.
