In observance of his 31st death anniversary, the V. K. Velayudhan Foundation confers an award for “Excellence in Palliative Health Care” to Pallium India. The award carries a purse of Rs. 50,000.

V. K. Velayudhan was a great social reformer from the last century – a major force behind the Royal decision to open the doors of temples to all Hindus without discrimination in the name of caste. The Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi had hailed it as an example for the whole country to follow. Pallium India is indeed proud to get an award in the name of such a great social luminary.

The award will be handed over at the Foundation’s office at Vanchiyoor on 25 February 2013 at 5.30 PM.
