Healthy Wayanad project to focus on needs of vulnerable groups

The Wayanad district administration has formulated the Healthy Wayanad project to study the problems faced by persons with disabilities, senior citizens, people with lifestyle diseases and members of Scheduled Tribe communities and draw up need-based development projects.

Agriculture Minister T. Siddique inaugurated a district-level consultation meeting of presidents of the three-tier panchayats and officials at Vengappally in connection with the implementation of the project on Saturday (October 10).

The initiative aims to scientifically assess the problems faced by vulnerable sections through systematic data collection and formulate effective development projects based on their specific needs.
