So far, a total of 212 houses had been built under the initiative. Sixty-seven of the beneficiaries were widows, 33 were autism patients or differently abled, and 23 were diagnosed with serious illnesses. The help of various organisations aligned with the CPI(M) and kind-hearted individuals and outfits was sought to collect land, funds and other materials. Twenty-three more houses would be built after the culmination of the Party Congress, he said.
