The houses will be handed over by Yeddyurappa, former CM at a programme which will be presided over by Vibudesha Swamiji. Fr Richard Coelho, priest of Udyavara Church, D V Sadananda Gowda, Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, G Shankar, Manorama Madhwaraj, Dr V S Acharya and others will be the chief guests.
A bridge constructed at the plot by the trust will be inaugurated on the occasion, he added.
The beneficiary families have been living in thatched huts for centuries. The trust took initiatives to build houses for the families in the wake of a section of media reporting on their plight.
