Name change for the Group

We have got the name of the group changed from “Medavakkam Helping Minds Social Welfare Association” to a shorter name of “Helping Minds Association” after a very long struggle and follow-up. Since this is done, the next activities of getting the PAN number, filing income tax returns, getting 12 A registration and 80G registration will follow soon.
