S. Jayamohan was reappointed as chairman of the Kerala State Cashew Development Corporation (KSCDC) on Wednesday.
During his tenure in the last five years, the KSCDC had twice received the award for launching the highest number of value-added products. For the first time in history, 30 factories under the corporation were renovated and 6,000 new workers inducted.
More than 2.6 lakh village and ward volunteers in Andhra Pradesh, once celebrated as the government’s grassroots champions for their crucial role in implementing welfare schemes, are now in a dilemma after learning that their tenure has not been renewed after August 2023 even though they have been paid honoraria till June 2024.
