Kerala Women’s Commission (KWC) Chairperson Sathidevi has said that the commission would give prime importance to uplift women in the tribal sector.
Inaugurating a coordination committee meeting of various government agencies at Thirunelly in Wayanad on Tuesday as part of a two-day camp organised by the panel, Ms. Sathidevi said the marginalised sections of society should be brought into the mainstream, for which prime importance should be given to the education of tribal children.
The panel was moving ahead with modern methods such as DNA test for the protection of unwed tribal mothers, she said.
The Kudumbasree Mission in association with the Tribal Development department should implement joint projects to ensure job opportunities for tribal youth, she added. KWC member Indira Raveendran presided over the function. The two-day camp will conclude on Wednesday.
