The Grama Vandi service of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) that aims at improving connectivity in rural areas in collaboration with local bodies got underway in the Kollayil grama panchayat in Parassala on Friday.
Minister for Local Self-Governments M.V. Govindan, who formally inaugurated the service, said the endeavour would script a new chapter in the rural transport sector. The initiative is bound to succeed owing to its business model that has local bodies as a key stakeholder, he added.
