Dear Friends,

There comes a time in all our lives when we are invited to be a part of something big, something out of the ordinary, where care and service are the most important values and a healthy future is the promised consequence.

I am inviting you to be a part of such a cause.

It fills me with great pride and pleasure to apprise you about our dream-building project the Central Institute of Nursing & Research and Elderly Care Home at Knowledge Park III, Greater NOIDA, U.P. We have acquired two acres of land for this purpose.

The construction of the building is in progress and we need financial help from you as well as the entire nursing community of the country. The total covered area of the twin project is 1,60, 600 square feet.

The building material required is as follows:

24 lakh bricks
1.60 lakh cement bags
1,050 tonnes steel

Bricks cost Rs. 5/- per brick, cement is Rs. 260/- per bag while steel is Rs. 36/- per kg.

Each one of us has to contribute bricks, cement and steel. How many bricks, how much cement and how much steel each one of us is going to donate to ensure that the building is completed on time?

It is a question of the future of our country as well as our very own nursing profession. This is your chance to show your commitment towards the entire nursing community.

I await your positive response. Drops of water make the ocean, and will help us in realising our dream project.
