The initiative, led by the Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust, also provided land to 13 landless families for constructing homes. So far, 230 homes have been handed over, with another 120 set to begin construction in March 2025.
Kerala Revenue and Housing Minister Adv K Rajan, along with other state ministers, MPs, and MLAs, attended a ceremony in Palakkad where 120 completed homes were handed over to women-led families under the Griha Sobha 2025 initiative.
“It was a moment of pride and joy to witness the impact of these projects firsthand, when I had the privilege of visiting some of these homes which were being handed over. The 1000 Homes Initiative by Sobha Group is a remarkable effort to uplift women, going beyond providing shelter, to restoring dignity and creating opportunities. One of the most commendable aspects of this initiative is its strong focus on women empowerment,” K Rajan, minister for revenue and housing, Kerala govt.
The Trust, established in 1994, focuses on housing, education, healthcare, and social welfare in three panchayats of Palakkad district.
