Protection against pneumonia, meningitis
The Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) administration drive, to protect newborns from dreadful infections such as pneumonia and meningitis, started in the district on Wednesday.
District Collector Haritha V. Kumar inaugurated the district-level drive at the district hospital.
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.
