Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust, that was established in 1994 by Mr PNC Menon
and Mrs Sobha Menon to run various philanthropic projects (including the CSR programs of
SOBHA Ltd) has taken a significant stride towards providing secure and safe homes to the rural
poor, 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, held on March 9th, was graced by esteemed dignitaries, including Mrs Sobha
Menon, Trustee, Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust and Mr. Ravi Menon,
Chairman of Sobha Limited. The event also saw the presence of State Ministers, MLAs, MPs,
