We are proud to announce an important milestone in our CSR activities. Based on a need identification by our NGO partner Samhita , we along with Strides Foundation have decided to construct a Primary Health Centre ( PHC ) at Suragajkkanahalli. The PHC along with the Out Patient Treatment will also have additional value added services like X-ray, Scan, Eye & Dental treatment and Day Care facilities. The project will be called as "Strides Arogyadhama".

In consultation and partnership with the local panchayat, we have been able to get a land allotted to us ( site measuring 95' x 65' at Sy. No.11, Honnakalasapura ) . The local panchayat has completed all legal formalities.

The Karuna Trust (India) will be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the PHC. Karuna Trust has pioneered and implemented various Public-Private-Partnership models in public health care infrastructure. The Trust runs 72 Primary Health Care Centres and is headed by Dr. H Sudarshan who was awarded The Padmashri Award and Rajyotsava Award for his service at BR Hills.

A Bhoomi Pooja on 13th October 2014 marked the auspicious beginning of "Strides Arogyadhama". The event witnessed large gathering of local residents along with Union Leaders, representatives from Karuna Trust and employees from KRSG and Corporate office.

The Project is expected to be completed in about 4 months with the expenses close to Rs.95 Lakhs
