PROJECT KRUSHI INFRASTRUCTURE
Since the rented premises at Begumpet was too small and more children could not be accommodated a search was undertaken to move to a bigger place. Since such a place could not be found at a reasonable price within the city limits, the only way out was to move to the outskirts of the city. Ultimately a 2.5 acre piece of land located at Gowdavelly village, Medchal in the outskirts of Hyderabad was identified and purchased. The building was constructed with considerable financial assistance from “Friends Indeed”, a Dutch organization. This new home which was commissioned in June 2006 can accommodate 100 children on a regular basis and another 25 in transit.
The new Home at Gowdavelly village started functioning from June 2006 but was completed and formally inaugurated on 24th February 2007 by the Governor of AP, Shri. Rameshwar Thakur.
