Vision & Mission

The basic objective of this association is to reach out to the needy and deserving people, especially Malayalees of the area and beyond, irrespective of caste, creed or religion. Our motto is “reach out to the needy with care and love”.

 

It is a matter of pride that within 5 years of its formation KMSS was able to purchase its own office premise which most of other Malayalee Samajams in Pune city could not achieve. But the entire credit for this goes to the Life Members of the KMSS, its donors and well-wishers, and the foresight and able leadership of its past leaders. Thus, we are able to conduct our regular meetings, dance classes and other activities in our own premises. KMSS also have a full-fledged library with maximum Malayalam books.

 

The Kondhwa Malayalee Seva Sangham is engaged in various cultural activities. The annual Onam Celebrations of the KMSS is a much sought after event in the Malayalees’ calendar of not only our area of operation but also of the Pune city. The annual family get-togethers of Life Members is always very special to its members.

It offers assistance and support to the needy without looking at the caste, creed, religion or linguistic lineage. It supports orphanages and old age homes by providing them with food and other day-to-day consumption items. In academic front, it offers scholarships to meritorious students and financial support to economically weaker students. At the time of untimely accidents or illness KMSS is the first to call on the economically weaker sections with financial help.

In medical front KMSS organizes free medical check-up camps, blood donation camps and also offer financial support to economically weaker patients.

It promotes cultural activities by providing performance opportunities to the budding artists. It also conducts dance classes regularly at its office premises. It also plans to conduct study classes for the younger generation to propagate Malayalam language and to impart training in positive thinking, leadership, interpersonal relationship, career guidance and personality development.
