Pattambi's new education path.

An innovative project to democratise education and empower its rural youth, Pattambi constituency has launched an innovative project titled, "Vayanashalakal Janakeeya Sarvakalaashaalakal Aakunnu" which translates into " Libraries are becoming people's universities". The project is aimed at transforming all the public libraries under the jurisdiction of the constituency into powerful engines for grassroots development.

Empowering its rural youth

* Libraries will function as non-academic hubs
* Will offer modular and skill-based short-term courses catering to the needs of youth, women and mar-
   ginalised communities
* Skill-based courses will be offered in six core learning domains :-
     - health and well being 
     - career and language development
     - digital and technological skills
     - entrepreneurship and financial literacy
     - women-centric livelihood and skill development and
     - elective creative and life skills
* Courses will run weekly or monthly, based on demand
* Flexible and inclusive course structure offered in three formats :-
     - one-day (three-hour)
     - three-day (nine-hour) and
     - five-day (fifteen-hour) modules
* Classes by trained facilitators, local experts and online learning platforms
* Learners will be awarded certificates at the end of course
* Registration will be through the website of the project
* All residents of Pattambi constituency, irrespective of their age, can apply

My take

A noble thought and sincerely hope that politics doesn't overtake it!


Tailpiece.

Lekha's birthday by the Malayalam calendar.

Got up earlier than normal as Lekha, Padmakumar and Rema went to the temple for the morning darshan at a half past 6. Opened up the house for the day.

Padmakumar and Rema had gone again, collected the prasaadam and our lunch, gave the paayasam to Jayasree's parents and returned before lunch time.

A boisterous lunch.

Padmakumar and Rema left for Thrippunithura soon after and reached there by a half past 6.

A quiet evening thereafter.
