Mahindra Rural Housing Finance (MRHFL), one of the largest home finance companies serving rural and affordable areas in partnership with an NGO partner – Habitat for Humanity India, has recently built sanitation units for 110 marginalised families living in Ketti Panchayat, Nilgiris district, Tamil Nadu under its CSR initiative.
