Resources

Ravi Rai (our Founder and Chairman) just happens to be a Civil Engineer by profession, and so he is our Construction Manager and oversees all major construction work at the centres.  This helps to minimise our construction costs. For the day-to-day issues to do with maintenance and small construction work, we have, at each of our centres:

• a live-in maintenance person
• local contractors and tradespeople who we use
