The disintegration of the joint family system and gradual increase in the longevity of the life has contributed to a large increase in the aged population. This has led to the increased number of aged destitutes seeking free lodging & boarding arrangements which has motivated and prompted us to go for Platinum Jubilee Blocks in commemoration of the Platinum Jubilee event. Former Prime Minister Sri. H.D. Devegowda laid the foundation stone for massive Platinum Jubilee Blocks on 15.1.1995 estimated to cost 87 lakhs of Rupees.
