Dr. Faruk G. Patel, Founder, Managing Director and Chairman, KP Group chairperson, KPHDF, said, “Age and disability should never mean a life without dignity, comfort, or care. We have a special place in our hearts for especially abled people, and through Prabhu Nu Ghar, we want to give them a home in the truest sense, safe, self-sufficient, and full of warmth. This is not just a construction project for us; it is our way of ensuring that those who have often been overlooked by society are given the respect, security, and mainstream inclusion they truly deserve.”
