Kerala's First community kitchen inaugurated in Attapady Monday Sep 9,2013


Kerala Minister for Panchayats and Social Welfare M.K. Muneer inaugurated the first ''Community Kitchen Scheme'' of the State government at the Nallasingha hamlet in Sholayur grama panchayat in Attappady on Monday Sep 9,2013 

The kitchen will provide one full meal each day to children below six years, adolescents, pregnant women, and those above 60 years of age, Dr. Muneer said after the inaugural function. 

This was an attempt to deal with starvation and malnutrition in the tribal hamlets of Attappady. The scheme would be started in all the 172 Anganwadis in Attappady, Dr. Muneer said. 

The Kerala Govt. would fund the scheme for six months, he said calling upon civic-minded citizens to take over the scheme after that.
