Karnataka breached the 1,000-mark in a single day spike in COVID-19 cases with 1,033 new cases reported on Saturday. This is after a gap of 114 days as it was on September 9 last that the State reported 1,074 cases. Previously, before the second wave peaked it was on March 16 that the State had reported 1,135 cases.
This time, the surge has been rapid with nearly a five-fold rise in new cases since December 20. From 222 cases on December 20, the cases nearly doubled on December 24. While 566 cases were reported on December 29, the number touched 1,033 on Saturday (January 1) taking the total to 30,08,370.
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.
