The trustees have considered the charity commission's guidance on public benefit into account while planning our activities this year to achieve our objectives.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

The development and nurturing of knowledge and appreciation of the malayalam language, arts forms, culture, and heritage of Kerala and of India generally continue to be the vision that guides our annual activities. Trustees have tried to make sure that there are facilities for both public and members for the education and recreation in the areas of the arts, music, drama, and culture. A deeper understanding and respect of one's ancestry, heritage, and culture is another goal of the charity, especially among second-generation youth of Kerala descent.

The organization's overall focus is to enhance the public's quality of life by broadening their horizons by offering exciting, challenging, and affordable opportunities in the arts, culture, and sports.

Onam celebrations and Arts Day are two of the charity's biggest events that are especially focused on supporting artists and providing a platform for their performances.

Everyone really liked the sports day, and the children got to spend another enjoyable day with their family and friends.

We have resumed all the physical activities and language classroom session post the pandemic.
