We are hoping to begin operations in 2025 if all goes according to plan

New members will pay 55 lakhs ( subject to inflation).

What does the amount signify

The amount of 55 L (subject to inflation) is a refundable security deposit, to be paid according to a decided schedule, at the time of signing the MOU.This amount will stay with the Trust for as long as the individual is enrolled in the project (even lifelong).

The deposit shall stand refundable in the following situations:
  • In the event of the death of the nominated member of the family
  • In the event of the parent seeking removal of the nominated member of his family after serving notice of at least 6 (six) months in advance
  • In the event of the parent being asked to withdraw the nominated member for reasons specified in the MOU and copied below

Arunima will continue to provide services for which a monthly fee will be charged. At current costs, the monthly residential fees is approx INR 50,000/- per month. This can be used as a basis for the monthly fee, taking inflation into account.This needs to be paid life long for the services common to all. Medical expenses and expenses for the individual needs would be extra.

The residence will be up and running for 30/32 people once we are ready to move in, and we start incurring operational costs immediately. We will need to ensure that the quality of the service is top class, and all of the 32 families will need to pay an equal amount to keep it running at that level, whether or not their ward is living at Arunima. Variables like food costs and other consumables, for example, will come into play, once a resident moves in, but a certain amount will need to be paid, regardless. We would not like to use any residents' room for another person, but reserve and keep it for the resident whom it belongs to. This amount is INR 30,000/- per month at current costs, this can be used as a basis for the calculation of future contribution, taking inflation into account. This amount would be paid by all, irrespective of whether the individual is staying at Arunima or not.

*This is described in point 13 on the MOU
