For Mission One rupee Project,the Social work Department students of KMM College of Arts and Science, Thrikkakara conducted DONATE ONE RUPEE MISSION.The main objective of the project was to build and develop a Housing colony for disabled people in the district of Wayanad who are unemployed and homeless .

For this goal three youngsters from Kannur; Mr Shalin, Mr. Reneesh and Mr. Vijin took initiative and planned an all India tour, as a strategy for fundraising. They traveled by bicycle which was eco friendly.It was a handcrafted custom built medium sized caravan, which was powered with solar panels on the top of the vehicle.
