Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust, that was established in 1994 by PNC Menon and Sobha Menon to run various philanthropic projects (including the CSR homes to the rural poor programs of SOBHA Ltd) has taken a significant stride towards providing secure and safe, totally free of charge.
This initiative of Sobha Community Home Project “Griha Sobha 2024”, provides free housing benefit to 220 women-led underprivileged families in Palakkad district, aiming to address the pressing issue of inadequate housing experienced by underprivileged families in India.
In the recent inauguration event, the Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust celebrated Griha Sobha 2024, the keys handover for its first set of 100 homes at no cost to the beneficiaries was concluded, and foundation stone laying was done for another 120 homes of the promised 1000 homes to women from resource-limited families. Of these 120 homes where foundation stone laying was done, 13 landless families have been provided with 5 cents of land each, upon which their homes will be constructed.
The event was graced by esteemed dignitaries, including Sobha Menon, Trustee, Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust and Ravi Menon, Chairman of Sobha Limited. The event also saw the presence of State Ministers, MLAs, MPs, leaders cutting across political parties, and various eminent dignitaries. The ceremony served as a platform to highlight Sobha CSR's commitment to holistic social development, with the launch of the Sobha CSR website, showcasing the organization's numerous projects and initiatives.
