Some of the activities of KMCO Trust
MEDICAL
KMCO has reimbursed the medical treatment of several children particularly those whose parents work in the
unorganized sector; children of rickshaw pullers, auto drivers, domestic help and other such who have no cover through
government or other aid. For example:
Orthopedic patient: Baby Naina had never walked from birth.
KMCO sponsored her surgical treatment whereby both her
knees were required surgical intervention. Today Naina walks!
Cancer patient: Diabkar, the 6-year old having blood cancer since April 2001 is under treatment at Meherbhai Tata
Memorial Hospital. KMCO extended financial assistance for the child’s treatment.
KMCO together with FPAI-SP (Family Planning Association of India – Singhbhum Project) conducted Free Health Check
-up Camps during March & May 2004 at Harisunderpur, Murgaguttu, Salampather and Raimara tribal villages under
Gamharia Block of Singhbhum West District, Jharkhand. Around 170 school children were treated in these Health Camps.

EDUCATION
KMCO sponsors children’s education. For example,
Mary Joseph, a mentally challenged girl child whose mother, a widow works as a domestic help. As she cannot
afford Mary’s education, KMCO sponsors her education in the School of Hope, Jamshedpur.
KMCO granted financial help to Suyash Sohanpal studying in Standard V in Carmel Junior College, Jamshedpur.
Suyash is doing exceptionally well in studies.
"Scholarship in Perpetuity". From 1990 a scholarship has been instituted in the School where Kudy used to
study. The total expenditure of a child is supported by KMCO. The first beneficiary is a little girl whose father is
a security guard in a nearby school.
KMCO contributes towards children’s development thru’ Sharda Kalyan Sangh, an organization in Midnapore
that encourages village children to excel and continue higher education in professional fields.
And many many more …………………

SOCIAL SERVICE
Water has become increasingly a scarce resource. Realising this, KMCO committed donating water pumps every
year for next 10 years in a needy village preferably near a school. The second water pump was donated on 21st
June 2004.
KMCO has also offered to sponsor water harvesting in two nearby villages.
