The KCS executive Committee members at reviewing the project, which cost a approximate of Rs 4 lac, at a certain stage were apprehensive of this project, but when they realised the new toilet and refreshing facility being materialised at a short period, they believed that timely executing a ‘commitment’ and extending a ‘helping hand and generous mite’ for the cause of community and society can give immense joy for both generous ‘Giver’ and the ‘Receiver’.

Meanwhile, the president and members of executive Committee of KCS sincerely thanked all the members of KCS and well wishers who have generously donated for this cause. Since, this was the first Community Project taken by the KCS, in the history of its existence, the success and joy seemed to have percolated in each member to venture in future in similar acts.
