OUR HUMBLE, BUT NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

over the years

A public address system

A public address system, the longstanding requirement of KRRA, and a personal computer, another need of KRRA were purchased out of the net proceeds from the Vicennial Souvenir published in 2014.

Both the above public address system and the personal computer system were the longstanding requirements of KRRA. We were able to purchase them out of the net proceeds earned through canvassing advertisements inserted in the KRRA Vicennial Souvenir published in 2014. These assets now cost Rs. 45,000/- together.

The flagship project (KRRA Building) of KRRA

The flagship project (KRRA Building) of KRRA was our long-cherished dream. With the generous support of most of our members we were able to purchase a small strip of land and construct the above building on it. The KRRA Building which was inaugurated on January 29, 2012, stands as a symbol of 'where there is a will, there is a way'. The building is worth an asset of over Rs,11,00,000/- to our Association.
