Chennai: Varun Arakattalai, a newly launched NGO of Radiance Realty Developers Ltd, has initiated the welfare activities for people after conducting a detailed study of the needs, aspirations and challenges of the community.
The foundation has used sports as an instrument to promote health, education and empowerment. Sporting events including cricket, kabadi and football were organized with a sponsorship of over 10 lakh for the youth in the area, to get them to thrive together. The matches between the local teams in Pattinambakkam representing different kuppams brought forth discussions around other social issues faced by the citizens of this area.
The arakattalai has also laid its focus on the development of Ramakrishnapuram in Mylapore by reconstructing an incomplete temple, renovating the corporation gym and to give study materials, school bags and other school supplies to Chennai Managaratchi Nadunilai School, a unit of Chennai Corporation in Ramakrishnapuram.
Launching the entity, Varun Manian, MD, Radiance Realty, said, “Our goal is to bring about a sustainable change in the lives of the less privileged with an infrastructure that will hone their skills and prepare them for the competitive future. Using sport as an effective medium, we take the conversation of life to a larger audience. Engaging the community through games are our first few steps towards a meaningful cause. We have a larger roadmap framed for the development of this community and others in need in the future.”
