PALAKKAD (Kerala), 6 JUNE: The Centre will come out with a Rs 112 crore comprehensive development package for the Attappady tribal belt in the district from where infant deaths due to malnutrition were reported in recent days, Union Minister for Rural Development Jairam Ramesh today said.
Speaking to reporters here after visiting the tribal villages along with Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Mr Ramesh said a special machinery would be set up to monitor the implementation of schemes under the package.
An amount of Rs 50 crore would be sanctioned for three panchayats in Attappady in the coming five years through the self-help group ‘Kudumbashree’, he said. Steps also would be taken to provide houses to the tribals under the Rajiv Aavas Yojana, he added.
Mr Chandy said land would be provided to all landless tribals in the area. Skill training would be given to selected 500 tribal youths, he said adding “jobs would also be provided to them.”
