Karunanidhi donated Gopalapuram house for hospital on his 86th birthday
Late DMK supremo M Karunanidhi had donated his residence at posh Gopalapuram locality in Chennai in 2010 for setting up a hospital for the poor. On the eve of his 86th birthday, he had signed the gift deed donating the house to Annai Anjugam Trust, (named after his mother) to run the hospital after his and his wife's lifetime. Here's more.
Hospital to be named 'Kalaignar Karunanidhi Hospital'
The hospital to come up at the place would be named Kalaignar Karunanidhi Hospital, it was announced. In 1968, he had registered the house in the name of his sons Alagiri, Stalin, and Tamilarasu. After getting their consent in 2009, Karunanidhi had gifted it to the Trust. Former Union Minister A Raja and noted Tamil lyricist Vairamuthu are among members of the Trust.
Karunanidhi had lived in the house for over 50 years
Karunanidhi, who died yesterday at the age of 94, had expressed his desire to gift the house, where he had lived for over five decades since 1955, at a launch function.
