KOLLAM: Chairman M A Yousafali of the Lulu Group extended a generous gesture to Pathanapuram Gandhi Bhavan at the commencement of the holy month of Ramzan, presenting a love gift in the form of an aid of one crore rupees.

With over 1300 inmates, Gandhi Bhavan incurs an expenditure of approximately three lakh rupees daily. Yusufali annually contributes one crore rupees to ensure uninterrupted provision of food and treatment. Punalur Somarajan, the secretary of Gandhi Bhavan, expressed that the financial strain faced by the organization was alleviated with this assistance, especially considering the recent land acquisition expenses.

Yousafali initiated continuous support eight years ago after his visit to Gandhi Bhavan, comprehending its challenges. Last November, he further demonstrated his commitment by constructing a multi-storied building with modern amenities for the mothers residing at Gandhi Bhavan, investing over fifteen crore rupees. Representatives on behalf of M A Yousafali including his secretary E A Harris, Lulu Group Regional Director Joy Shadanandan, Project Director Babu Varghese and Lulu Group India Media Coordinator N B Swaraj visited Gandhi Bhavan to officially present the donation via a Demand Draft.
