Wow! It was heart shattering!!! One hill disappearing in a flash! One part of a village washed out under the earth! All these happened in Wayanad District of Kerala in the last few days during heavy rains followed by huge landslides. Rain did havoc in other districts too like Malappuram, Idikki, Kannur etc. Every Keralite - not only them but people at large - had eyes wet when  heard and saw in media the human tragedy that ensued. Over 100 persons were killed as per the report. It is suggested that the number may go up. Innumerable houses were totally or partially destroyed.

Foundation is committed to grow fast. Two challenges are to be overcome. Identification of beneficiaries is the key issue. Currently around forty students are receiving Scholarship. Planned aim for this year is to support eighty or more students spread across the State. Addressing School/College authorities did not yield any results. Other course of action is necessary. All views and opinions are most welcome. 

Discussions with a few victims in Nilambur area provided a spine-chilling picture of post flood situation.  A few reputed persons also narrated the painful picture of suffering and despair in the area. Foundation has to move fast.

We are right now behind 39 students, a long way below our goal. We had plans of support about 75 students this year. We are pushing hard to identify real and genuine beneficiaries. Let us hope we meet the target before December end.
