A joint initiative of Pallium India and Prathidhwani

As a fund-raising exercise for Kuttikoottam 2018 (summer camp for children who are provided educational support by Pallium India) held from April 19 to 21, Pallium India organized a food festival at “Bhavani” in Technopark, Trivandrum. This was supported by “Prathidhwani”, the social service club of employees of various organizations in Technopark. This was an initiative by volunteers of Pallium India who prepared the food in their homes and also catered the same at the venue.

The festival opened at 10 a.m. with a trickle of visitors that kept increasing and peaked at 1 p.m. On display were 18 mouth-watering meal items, 9 snacks items, 5 juice items and 4 payasams that delighted not only Malayalis but also non-Malayalis. Our only regret is that our limitations on sourcing larger volumes of food left a few of our visitors disappointed. To them, our sincere apologies.

The festival ended at 2 p.m. and was a grand success. Thanks to the sensitized crowd of young techies who came in droves to help this great cause, we raised ₹65,000. We would also like to thank Prathidhwani, without whose support this event would not have taken place.
