We have continued to receive donations from several Donors and Well-wishers - Members and Non-Members alike – and their names are listed elsewhere. However, it is interesting to see that our major donors happen to be mostly non- members! This time it is our all-time Well-wisher and Minister for Medical Education and Sri S.A.Ramadas, who came to our aid with a grant of Rs.2 lakhs!
In addition, several Members have come up with Interest-Free-Loans (IFL) of varying amounts, which entitle the Balaga to utilize such sums for construction work, and is free of interest for a period of 3 years. Thereafter, the Balaga is committed to either return the amount in agreed number of installments or pay interest at nominal rates.
In one particular case of intense involvement, it is most gratifying to report that the family members of our Founder-President Late Sri A.H.Gopal Rao – his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren – have come up with a contribution of up to Rs. 1.60 lakhs, enough for the construction of 2 rooms for needy students. Is it not an idea worthy of emulation by a few more members’ families?
