G-10 extends relief to earthquake victims in Gujarat

G-10 Computer Dealers Association of Chennai contributed a sum of Rs 3 lakh for the earthquake stricken victims of Gujarat. G-10 in association with Rajasthan Jain Yuvak Sangh, an organization providing relief measures in Gujarat, have constructed ten houses for the victims.

"We found Rajasthan Jain Yuvak Sangh doing a very good job in the various affected areas of Gujarat. They have undertaken a project of constructing a total of 500 homes out of which nearly 200 have already been completed. During the discussion with the chief member of the association we found their project worthwhile and accordingly we decided to join them in their project by constructing 10 homes," said Jitender Tatia (Proprietor, Vivek Traders), the ex-VP of G-10 Computer Dealers Association. "The fund of Rs 3 lakh which we collected, Rs 2,70,000 was utilized for constructing houses and the balance was used for providing shelter and fodder for animals," he added.

The houses are made up of pre fabricated cement ply acting as four walls with the door and roof made of asbestos sheets. The whole fabrication is connected and attached with metal angles as a support. Each house has an area of 12x10" comprising two rooms and an attached bathroom. These houses have been supplied with electrical fittings with two fans and two
tubelights.

A four member team of G-10 comprising of Jitendar Tatia, Pawan Sethia, Naresh Kanted and Prakash Banda visited the quake hit areas of Gujarat. According to the association members the full donation amount is 100 percent exempted under 80G Act of Income Tax. So all donors can get deduction of the full amount paid as donation.

Recently G-10 elected its new association members. Prakash D Banda (D Mohanlal & Sons) has been elected as President, Lalit Jain (Softline Sales Corporation) as Secretary and Hanuman Jain (Inkjet House) as its Treasurer.
