They build 25 houses in a short span of time
Members of women construction groups under the District Kudumbashree Mission in Wayanad have proved their mettle in house construction as they have completed building 25 houses in a short span of time.
As many as 74 Kudumbashree members of 17 construction groups, each group comprising four to six members, are working in the sector now.
The Mission had provided 53 days’ training for members on all aspects of construction work with the support of the Wayanad Social Service, an NGO in the district, and Rural Self-Employment Training Institute here two years ago.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
