K&A Team visits India

Late last month, members of K&A’s Infrastructure team travelled to India to investigate project opportunities. During the visit they met with various government officials and members of India’s business community to discuss one of the country’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, the National Waterways Technology project.
The most celebrated part of the visit was the presentation to the villagers in a remote community in southeast India of a mobile hospital as part of K&A’s commitment to the PURA Mission. This initiative was founded by former President Abdul Kalam – his vision is to Provide Urban Amenities to Rural Areas of India.
The presentation of funding for a mobile hospital to be operational in rural communities in southern India was met with deep appreciation and gratitude and it confirmed and strengthened the bond that exists between Canada and India.
The K&A team plans to return to India in late spring to continue this work and present abstracts to members of the National Waterways task force.
