The project in Devikulam aims to develop a community hall that is accessible to all members, ensuring a reliable space for gatherings and events. It will include essential infrastructure such as a rainwater collection system for fresh water and a dependable electricity supply. The project will require land for a community hall and water tank, utilizing sustainable materials like mud, tin, stone, and cement. Additionally, there are plans for improved community sanitation facilities. This initiative promotes health, safety, and social cohesion within the community.
