About Us
 

Krishna Gardens Residents’ Association (KGRA) was formed in 2007 with 150 families and later the area covered by the Association increased to accommodate another 100 families. As per th data of October 2023, the Association serves 252 families distributed in A, B and C sectors, living between the temple lane south of the Nambickal Krishna Temple and north of Doctor Pinto avenue. The western boundary is the Sreekariam Akkulam road from Southern Air Command Officers Mess to Nambical Krishna Temple. The Eastern boundary is temple road up to Ithady Residents Association boundary. The geographical area of tha Assocoation falls within the Aakkulam Division Thiruvananthapuram Corporation.

In 2007, the condition of the roads were very pathetic, drinking water supply was scarce and street lighting was very much insufficient with very low voltage. The formation of an association of the residents as forum to raise our demands to the authorities was inevitable. A meeting of the Residents unanimously approved the formation of a registered Residents’ Association and named it ‘Krishna Gardens Residents’ Association’.

An ad-hoc Committee initially formed, listed the major grievances and started action. The results were very encouraging and many of the problems caught the attention of the authorities. The duly elected Executive Committees since then continued the good work. With in a short span of three years the Association could achieve many targets that improved the overall development of the region. A directory of all the families was published; proficiency awards and merit certificates were given to eligible students, study materials were supplied to poor students, became part of the Community Policing Scheme of the government to maintain law and order in the region and many more grievances of the residents were redressed.

Distribution of identity cards to all families and the launching of the website for the Association in March/April 2010 are two major steps accomplished by the Association. KGRA is a member CORAS (Coordination of Residents' Associaations of Sreekariam) since its inception. With the coordinated efforts of all Residents' Associations,the region witnessed tremendous changes.

In 2012, families living on the eastern side of Paper Mill and Ithady roads were included to make a 'C' Sector of the Association. A total of around 206 families are members of the Association now. The Association continued its good works and tried to solve many of the common problems faced by the families. Now the region is having very good power and water supply system. The law and order situation is far better and the condition of the roads improved a lot.

The family Directory was thoroughly revised and the new Directory with details of all families in the three Sectors was published in September 2017 by the Hon'ble Minister of Kerala, Sri. Kadakampally Surendran.

The General Body meeting held in December 2017 elected the new Executive Committee and has decided to revamp the Association's Website. This is the revamped website launched in January 2018.
