About Vasavi Charitable Trust

As aspired by the resident owners of Vysya Bank Colony, a Meditation Hall with Temple Complex project was commenced with Bhoomi Pooja held on 28.10.2002 under the patronage and encouragement / involvement of Sri G Mallikarjuna Rao, Chairman GMR Group of Industries and Smt G. Varalakshmi Mallikarjuna Rao.
