The planting of a mango tree ,by Mr M.S.Parthasarathy, also symbolizes celebration representing growth of the company and the good health of all families dependant on the company

The mango tree is considered very sacred and pure by the Hindus . Mango leaves are used decorate archways and doors in Indian houses especially during wedding and functions . The mango is considered as of one of three Royal Fruits ( the other two being Jack fruit and Banana).

Mr M.S.Parthasarathy left his mark on the company symbolically by imprinting his signature and his palm print in concrete. The stainless steel shovel used during the tree planting ceremony has been permanently cast in concrete block leaving a reminder for the future generations his contribution to society both as an industrialist as well as spokesperson for the small and tiny industries in India.

About Karunai Villa ( means Mercy Dwelling ) Trust :

Founder

Founded by Ms Lizamma Mathews, a usual school teacher for six years till an accident in1996 changed her life. On her way back home from the School one day, she came across several boys throwing stones at a15 year old unclothed girl. The girl was clearly not in her sense, was just a piece of flesh- a laughing stock for the boys. Lizamma admitted the girl in the Hospital for the mentally ill, where the girl showed marked improvement in 15 days.

Little realizing that this voluntary act of kindness would be first of many to come. She realized the need of the time, spent a month at the Institution learning the basics of mental care. As she puts it, “There are so many in the teaching profession, but very few take up this work”. She also spent a year at NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) in Hyderabad and also took up several honorary jobs in private hospitals in Kerala. Then in 1998, she started Karunai Villa meaning Mercy Dwelling.

A registered non-profitable organization founded in the year 1998 recognized by Government of India. It has dedicated its services for the rehabilitation of Physically challenged in particularly mentally challenged individuals, irrespective of their caste, religion, creed or age.
