Chandran Memorial Hall was inaugurated by Dr. Kenneth A. Mooney on 23 February 2006. Dr. Mooney, affectionately known by his friends as Ken, was born and raised in New Jersey, USA, and was a long-time resident of Reston, Virginia, USA. Donations from Anne and J. Shukla, and a generous gift from the late Ken Mooney, helped build CHANDRAN MEMORIAL HALL to help the children of village Mirdha and the surrounding villages.
