Under the auspices of Muthoot M George Foundation, six ‘Merritt’ high speed sewing machines were distributed to physically challenged individuals at Edakkara, Calicut, Kerala. The necessary training on the usage of these machines was also imparted to the beneficiaries so that they could be competently and gainfully be self- employed in areas such as bag making, upholstery work among others. This has enabled them to be independent and capable of earning their own livelihood and also support their families.
