THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Shyamala, a widow from Adoor Marur Surya Bhavan and her daughter, faced hardship after their home was devastated in a natural calamity on March 6, 2023. Living in a nearby shed with no one to rely on, their plight caught the attention of the Nava Kerala Sadas.

Recognizing the urgency, the Chief Minister stepped in, ensuring immediate intervention for financial aid. Rs 1,30,000 from the Disaster Response Fund and an additional Rs 2,70,000 from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund were sanctioned, totalling Rs 4 lakhs to help rebuild Shyamala's home.

The Chief Minister's proactive approach to this case, considering Shyamala's situation as a special circumstance led to the swift allocation of funds, providing much-needed relief to the widow and her daughter.

The dream of a restored, secure home for Shyamala and her daughter is now becoming a reality, thanks to the timely intervention and support received through the Nava Kerala Sadas and the Chief Minister's initiatives.
