From Kollengode to Peravoor
>> Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Kakkengad Farmers Club had the privilege of being the host to many visitors from other districts and states who came to learn the rich experience the Club gained over the years in social mobilisation. The latest visit was by a team from Kollengode Block in Palakkad district. The objective of the exposure visit was to get a first hand information about the various interventions made in Peravoor Block under the Pilot Project for Integrated Development (PPID) which is under implementation in the block.
It was yet another proud moment for the members of Kakkengad Farmers Club. The team lead by Shri S.Padmanabhan, DDM, NABARD, Palakkad, consisted of President and elected representatives of Kollengode Block Panchayath, Bankers, representatives of FLAME, Kerala, the Nodal Agency for handholding the PPID programme in Kollengode Block, representatives from Agriculture/Animal Husbandry department, Farmers Clubs etc. Besides having discussions with the members of the farmers club and staff of NMGB, Kakkengad, the team members visited the Rural Information and Service Centre set up by the Club with NABARD support and also interacted with some of the SHGs and JLGs promoted by the Club. The team later on had interactions with the Peravoor Block Panchayat and other partners of the PPID project and also visited various projects under implementation in Peravoor Block. The visiting team could witness the changes the PPID programme could make in the economic, infrastructure and human resources front in Peravoor block. After two days of hectic visit, the team returned with a sense of satisfaction and rich experience gained in decentralised planning for integrated development successfully experimented in Peravoor Block under the leadership of NABARD.
