A.K. Abdul Hakeem, Kozhikode district project coordinator, Samagra Shiksha, Keralam, has been chosen for an award instituted by the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration for initiating innovative projects in the educational sector. The award was given considering the various schemes implemented in the district for differently abled children and their socialisation, said a release on Thursday. It was presented through an online event by Subhas Sarkar, Union Minister of State for Education, on Thursday. Pusthakachangathi, a home library project, and Changathikkoottam, an interactive initiative, were some of the schemes for differently abled children first taken up in Kozhikode under him and then implemented in other parts of the State.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
