Under the leadership of District Governor Rajan N. Namboothiri, District 318C has launched three impactful initiatives addressing diverse community needs in the region.
Enhancing Road Safety
The district’s road safety program, inaugurated by Transport Minister K. B. Ganesh Kumar at the Palace Oval Ground in Tripunithura, equipped 3,000 auto rickshaw drivers with first aid kits. This initiative transforms everyday transport vehicles into potential emergency response points during minor accidents, adding a vital layer to local preparedness.
Promoting Sustainable Agriculture
In Nedumkandam, Idukki, the launch of the Organic Group Farming program marked another significant milestone. Guided by the motto ‘Sow Together, Harvest Together,’ this project establishes dedicated farming zones where local farmers, trained in organic techniques, collaborate to grow vegetables and paddy sustainably. This transition from conventional farming methods prioritizes soil health and biodiversity while reducing dependency on harmful chemicals. It also fosters a strong sense of community among the farmers.
Nourishing The Hungry
Going beyond occasional food drives or temporary solutions, Subiksham community kitchen at Shasthamugal’s Lions Hospital provides 400 nutritious meals daily to Tripunithura residents facing food insecurity. Lion members contribute not only funds but also their time and expertise to keep the kitchen running efficiently. CSR partnerships further strengthen the kitchen’s sustainability, while its location at the hospital premises makes healthy meals accessible to those who need it most.
Together, these initiatives demonstrate District 318C’s integrated approach to community service, meeting immediate challenges while laying the groundwork for lasting, meaningful change.
