Dedicating the project to welfare of people living in remote areas, Bishop Dr. Simon John of Believers Eastern Church said, “We conducted a survey of several areas and found these people to be amongst most marginalized. We are also planning to undertake other initiatives in this area like education centre for children, free medical camps etc.”
