Kudumbashree is creating yet another history by launching 'Thirike Schoolil' (Back to School) State Level Campaign, the largest training programme. As many as 46 lakh Kudumbashree women came back to school as 'students'. The campaign was started when Shri. M.B. Rajesh, Minister, Local Self Government Department, Government of Kerala performed the State Level Inauguration of the Campaign at K.B. Menon Memorial Higher Secondary School, Thrithala, Palakkad on 1 October 2023. Even the heavy rains could not dampen the enthusiasm of Kudumbashree women. The campaign will bring 46 lakh Kudumbashree NHG members back to classrooms on holidays until 10 December 2023. The campaign is launched with the aim of strengthening the three-tier structure of Kudumbashree and for equipping the NHG women to take up novel ventures in tune with the changing times. On the first day itself, around 4 lakh NHG members took part in the Campaign across the state.
