Kottukulam Visranthi Bhavan

Kottukulam Visranthi Bhavan

Aging is a natural process. The family values ingrained in Indians make sure that children take care of their parents well into old age. As young aspirants in India are migrating to different cities either within India or abroad to pursue further education or in pursuit of their careers, leaving behind their old aged parents at home. The number of such families where all the children have left and only the old parents staying at home is increasing day by day. Due to this empty nest phenomenon, the situation of the old parents staying alone at home becomes vulnerable especially when they face health issues. The increased security threat to life and property where elders are soft targets, Bethany Ashram of Ranny, Perunad decided to widen their services.

Heirs of a prestigious family in Kottayam named Kottukulam initiated support to commence an Old age home in memory of their forefathers named K.V. Punnoose, K.V. Varghese and K.V. Abrham. Accordingly Kottukulam Visranthy Bhavan came into being and on October 30, 1992 Honorable Finance Minister – Shri.Oommen Chandy inaugurated the Old age home and Mr.M.M.Jacob, Meghalaya Governor felicitated this munificent effort. His holiness Marthoma Mathews Baselious, Catholicos of the East Consecrecated the home.
