KANAL RURAL VAYANAYIDAM INITIATIVE AT IDINJAR

On June 24, the last day of the ongoing Reading Week celebrations, a reading space will be opened at Idinjar, a tribal settlement in Peringamala panchayat in the Trivandrum district. The Idinjar reading space will be the seventh set up by Kanal. The first was set up at Vettikavala, near Kottarakara, in 2017, an area that saw a large number of child marriages. Kanal’s reading spaces are set up in areas where problems largely ignored by society exist. The other reading spaces are at Attappady’s Nakkupathi, Jellipara, and Daivakundu; Poonthura in the capital district; and at Halagayanahundi near Mysore in Karnataka.
