Padinjattinkara has become the first completely Constitution-literate ward in Kollam as part of ‘The Citizen’, a constitution literacy campaign jointly organised by the Kollam district panchayat, District Planning Committee, and Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA).
Ward 27 in Kottarakara municipality, Padinjattinkara was declared completely Constitution-literate by Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal after its residents were educated on Indian Constitution, which is the lengthiest written Constitution in the world. The aim of the campaign is to declare Kollam a completely Constitution-literate district on August 14 midnight.
Currently, efforts are progressing for the same in various local bodies across the district.
