Joythiraj further said, “I want to visit every district in the state to raise funds and create awareness. I want to train youth in rock climbing by creating a foundation and purchasing land for the same. Through the foundation, I want to create an artificial wall-climbing facility to train the youth”.
Jyothiraj said that on several occasions he had requested the government to sanction a piece of land for him to start a foundation to set up an artificial wall-climbing facility to train people. He hopes that people will come forward to support his project.
