The Electoral Literacy Clubs of Attappady have geared themselves up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The literacy clubs and their members have begun visits to different tribal hamlets in the remote hills of Attappady with the objective of ensuring better participation of the tribespeople in the country’s electoral process.
Ignoring the scorching summer heat, the club members conducted voter awareness drives at Chavadiyur, Mele Chavadiyur, Palakayur, and Elachivazhi in Pudur grama panchayat. They introduced electronic voting machines to the voters.
The voting machines were taken to tribal houses as well as the fields where the tribespeople were engaged in work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme.
