Karkala, Feb 17: State minister for rural development and Panchayat Raj Shobha Karandlaje, after attending the foundation-laying ceremony for setting up of Stree Shakti Bhavan on Tuesday February 17, said that the state had prioritized provision of basic amenities such as roads, foot over-bridges, and bridges in the Naxal-affected remote villages in Udupi district.
She said that the children of families living in these areas will be provided education and training to equip them for jobs.
Despite surveys for ration cards being conducted six times, there have been too many mistakes in identifying the beneficiaries for issuance of Below Poverty Level (BPL) cards. However, a provision has been made to issue temporary ration cards by submitting an affidavit on a Rs 20 stamp paper which will later be replaced with computerized cards, she assured.
