For those who are single and looking to couple up, a local body in Kottayam is ready to play cupid.
Taking note of a gradual rise in the number of single youths in its limits, the Thidanadu grama panchayat has taken it upon itself to help them find suitable life partners. A ‘marriage diary’ opened by the local body has received over 700 registrations since its launch three days ago.
According to the panchayat authorities, the matchmaking service will be handled directly by the ward members in the first phase. As the number of registrations rise, the process will gradually shift to an online platform. The scheme intends to find suitable matches for the registered members in coordination with other local bodies across the State.
