We are proud that our Konkan Welfare Trust Samudai Bhavan (KWT is a Trust jointly formed by KONCAB and KCA) building work is progressing well. Please make some time to visit the building if you have not yet done so. The building is diagonally behind the Royal Concord School on outer ring road in Kalyananagar. We are sure you will feel proud of the work so far. We hope that the building can be completed soon. But there is shortage of funds to complete the remaining work. Please be generous and help us complete this building at the earliest. Remember, this is our community building. Attached are a couple of pictures of the building as on date.
