The Hindu
Nearly 60 members to benefit with an approximate individual allocation of ₹30,000
With the second wave of the pandemic showing signs of subsiding, the Kudumbashree District Mission is all set to roll out its biggest ever project for the tribal community in Kuttampuzha panchayat in Ernakulam district. At an allocation of ₹16 lakh, the animal husbandry project, Aadugramam (goat grazing), is the Kudumbashree’s largest ever for livelihood support for the tribal community in the district. The fund has already been allocated, and the project was delayed initially by the model code of conduct ahead of the Assembly elections and then by the second wave of the pandemic. “The project is meant for Muthuvan and Mannaan tribal communities in Kuttampuzha. We have already completed training for the beneficiaries. With an approximate individual allocation of ₹30,000, nearly 60 members from the communities will benefit. There will be no direct cash transfer, but rather each beneficiary will be given three goats though the number depends on the weight,” said Ponni Kannan, district programme manager, Kudumbashree Tribal Development Project.More Related News
