Resolution at party district conference calls upon people to remain alert against anti-farmer policies pushed by Central government
The style of functioning of a number of government departments has reportedly come under fire at the CPI(M) district conference, which is under way at Parassala.
Delegates attending the conference have reportedly levelled criticism at the police and Industries departments and the Departments of Health and Local Self-Government. Offices under the Health department have become inaccessible to the public, delegates alleged.
Meanwhile, two of the delegates, including I. B. Satheesh, MLA, tested positive for COVID-19.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
