The Hindu
It has been done in association with United Nations Children's Fund
In an attempt to enable schools to bring about an all-round development of a child, Solar Trust, a not-for-profit organisation, has, in association with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), launched Adolescent Responsive Schools (ARS) - a mobile application.
The app would serve as a channel through with school authorities could communicate the availability or lack of facilities in government schools in the State.
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.
