Kudumbashree’s ABC units find going tough
The Hindu
Court halts transfer of funds as it lacks AWBI registration
The Shraddha Kudumbashree unit in Ernakulam has been carrying out the Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme since 2018, providing livelihood to 15 people. The unit had bought a multispecialty mobile unit in 2019 investing nearly ₹1 crore, the first of its kind facility in the State according to its members. But today Shraddha is one of the 30 units across Kerala whose members have been hit by a court order suspending the transfer of funds to Kudumbashree since it is not registered with the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI). The Animal Husbandry Department had trained hundreds of women for the programme and the units have so far sterilised around 80,000 strays across the State. The court order came at a time when Kudumbashree was providing ABC services to 279 local bodies in Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, and Wayanad districts.
