Foot overbridge at Kilikolloor soon
Southern Railway has approved the plan to upgrade Kollam Railway Station to global standards, N.K Premachandran, MP, has said.
The project will be implemented by the Railway Construction Organisation using funds from the Railways. While proceedings to set up a Railway Training Institute at Kollam are being studied, the authorities are also considering a proposal for the construction of pit lines.
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.
