Party plans to set up exclusive feeder organisation
The Kerala Congress (M), which seeks a transition from its mass-based structure to a cadre-based organisation and revive its shrinking vote base, will soon come up with a feeder organisation exclusively for professionals. A decision to constitute the new department was made during a steering committee meeting of the party in Kottayam earlier this month. The platform seeks to create a network of professionals from different fields comprising media, health, Information Technology and architecture.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
