Prathidhwani contributes to chief ministers distress relief fund for landslide rehabilitation

Thiruvananthapuram: Prathidhwani, the welfare and recreation forum of IT employees at Technopark, contributed over Rs 28 lakh to the chief minister's distress relief fund (CMDRF) for the rehabilitation of landslide-hit communities at Chooralmala and Mundakkai in Wayanad district.

The relief fund was handed over to chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan at his office by state convenor of Prathidhwani Rajeev Krishnan. Prathidhwani president at Technopark Vishnu Rajendran and other office bearers Rahul Chandran, Saneesh KP and Prasanthi PS were also present.

Prathidhwani's units in three IT Parks in Kerala — Technopark, Infopark, Kochi, and Cyberpark, Kozhikode — collected the contributions from around 1,156 techies. The amount is intended for building a house (Rs 20 lakh) and other facilities in the township project (Rs 8.67 lakh) for the communities devastated by the massive landslide last year.
