Gatherings of beneficiaries would be held simultaneously at the panchayat level in all districts as part of the announcement. Photo exhibitions, seminars, and discussions on the Life Mission would be organised by the Information and Public Relations Department at Putharikandam Maidanam from Thursday.

A house warming in connection with the completion of the houses would be held at Enikkara in Karakulam at 8.30 a.m. on Saturday. The Chief Minister would take part in the function.
