State Women’s Commission chairperson P. Sathidevi said that the commission would recommend to the government for a comprehensive socio-health survey in Attappady.
Inaugurating the Human Rights Day celebrations organised by the Women’s Commission at Attappady on Friday, Ms. Sathidevi said that there was no dearth of welfare schemes in Attappady. Programmes in tune with the lifestyle of the tribes-people should be implemented in Attappady, she said.
The Commission asked the district panchayat to give shape to a comprehensive programme for Attappady by including various schemes of similar nature.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
