Spiritual leader, Mata Amritanandamayi, has set aside Rs 100 crore to help the survivors of the tsunami disaster. An official at Amritapeetam, Mata Amritanandamayi's headquarters in Kollam district in Kerala, said that the Mata Amritanandamayi Mutt would submit proposals to the state governments of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh to carry out its biggest ever charity work.

To begin with, the mutt proposes to reconstruct all the houses in Kerala that have been completely destroyed, if the government permits. These houses, which will have two rooms, a kitchen, a small veranda and a toilet, will be built according to government specifications. Mutt officials have asked the Kerala government's permission to proceed with the plan.

However, the mutt requested the government to renovate and maintain houses that are only partially damaged. For each affected house, the mutt will give Rs 1,000 for buying household items. A total of Rs1.5 crore has been set aside for this purpose.
