Year’s delay caused by local body polls, COVID-19 lockdown
Election to neighbourhood groups, area development societies and community development societies under the State Kudumbashree Mission is to be scheduled on December 20 to enable a fresh set of leaders to take charge by January 26, 2022.
There are a total of 3.5 lakh members of the Kudumbashree Mission in Ernakulam district under 27,000 neighbourhood groups and 101 community development societies. The organisation has flourished, finding employment opportunities for women and providing them social and economic support through a number of group-based activities that range from micro-enterprises to social empowerment activities.
Mission sources said the elections to the three-tier Kudumbashree setup had been postponed for a year due to the COVID-19 lockdown as well as last year’s elections to local government bodies. The Kudumbashree office bearers are elected for a period of three years.
