A helping hand to our alumni: A 'Karuthal' 

Initiative by Department of Zoology

As part of the 'Karuthal' philanthropic initiative, which was launched on the auspicious occasion of celebrating Mr. Vellapally Natesan's 25th year of dedicated service as the Manager of SN Trusts, the Department of Zoology embarked on a substantial fundraising campaign with a noble cause in mind: to support the medical treatment of Mr. Manu Venugopal, a former Zoology student of TKMMC (2003-06). Mr. Venugopal is currently battling acute myeloid leukemia and is undergoing medical treatment at Believer's Hospital in Thiruvalla. His surgery is scheduled for the 28th of September, 2023.

Dr. S. Sheela, the Head of the Department of Zoology, along with other faculty members and students, initiated this fundraising campaign with great enthusiasm and a shared commitment to assist Mr. Venugopal in his time of need.

What makes this endeavour particularly touching is the heartwarming display of unity and gratitude shown by former students of the Department of Zoology at TKMMC. Guided by the compassionate leadership of our former Principal, Dr. Sherly P. Anand, and Prof. Sheela P.,  former Associate Professor of Botany, these alumni extended a generous contribution to the cause.

Furthermore, the principal of TKMMC, Dr. P. P. Sharmila, and teachers from various other departments joined hands in solidarity and actively participated in the fundraising efforts. Their collective dedication and commitment resulted in the collection of a substantial amount totaling ₹37,000.

            

This inspiring example of altruism and unity demonstrates the incredible impact that a community can have when it comes together to support a fellow member in need. It reaffirms the values of compassion and philanthropy that lie at the heart of 'Karuthal' and exemplifies the ethos of SN Trusts in serving and assisting those facing challenges in their lives. This noble initiative brought together a diverse group, including teachers, the principal, and students of TKMMC, to engage in acts of philanthropy and goodwill.
