Anaikatti: Where Culture, Cuisine, and Nature Converge in Harmony
The families, belonging to the Irula tribe, had been living in makeshift huts after their houses previously built under the government scheme several years ago were dilapidated. Though the works of seven houses started under the Green House scheme in 2021, the government subsidy of ₹3 lakh each for a house was not enough to complete the works.
Social worker Joshua G.P.N., who works with tribal communities in Anaikatti region, approached then Coimbatore District Collector G.S. Sameeran for support. Sulur-based Propel Industries came forward to support the works through its CSR funding, which was implemented by the Residents Awareness Association of Coimbatore (RAAC). The company spent ₹14 lakh for the completion of the pending works of the houses that have a hall, two rooms and a kitchen each.
