Long Description
VISION OF THE FOUNDER:
The Founder B.M.G THOMAS, a teacher by profession, got the inspiration to start a voluntary Organization called ‘CROPS’ (CRISTIAN Rehabilitation Organization for the Poor Society) from the Biblical statement, “What you have done to the least of my brethren is done unto Me”. CROPS was started in the year 1993 with the aim of serving the poor and the needy, i
rrespective of caste or creed. The vision of the Founder to serve the poor rural masses, the needy prisoners and the uncared orphan children have been accomplished so far. The Founder has a great burden to start Rehabilitation Centres for the physically handicapped children, destitute children, beside starting a hospital, a prayer hall and counselling centres for the inmates of the Rehabilitation Centres. The Founder has the confident that God, the greatest provider, will speak to thousands of people, who will go through this write-up to give their philanthropic contributions for this noble cause to make the Founder’s dream come true. The villages are Kakkan Nagar, Upplianthittu and Sathyanagar. CROPS has been rendering the following services in the past 20 years for the socio-economic upliftment of these downtrodden villagers
