Nightingales Medical trust, a non-governmental, secular and charitable organization was founded in the year 1998 to alleviate the different problems faced by the elderly. Striving to strengthen family bonds and promote community-based support systems, the Trust has conceived and established various innovative and need based projects focusing on dementia care, active ageing, elder abuse, social integration, economic empowerment and capacity building.

ASM Technologies in association with OSAAT Educational Charitable Trust is building a classroom & Kitchen along with benches & desks at Government DVG Higher Primary School, Mulbagal town, Kolar district, Karnataka, India as to honour, preserve and cherish the memory of Shri D V Gundappa (DVG), the doyen of modern Kannada literature.

Dr. D. V. Gundappa (fondly remembered as DVG) is a noted Kannada writer who authored “Mankuthimmana Kagga ” also known as the Kannada version of Bhagavad Gita.

However, less known is the fact that he donated his ancestral home in Mulbagal, Kolar District, in the 1920s to the state government to run a school. Since then this 150+ year old home has been a higher primary school for local residents, boys and girls coming from numerous villages surrounding Mulbagal town. However due to vagaries of nature, this building is now crumbling, dilapidated and needs urgent restoration.

OSAAT has decided to construct a 3 storied building with 9 classrooms, office room, staff room, kitchen, toilets, a DVG memorial hall, activity areas and assembly space for this school and ASM Technologies will be making a contribution to support this noble cause.
