Thiruvananthapuram: Alappuzha will receive a new medical college hospital at Haripad, a long-awaited enhancement for healthcare in the region. This will be the second medical college in the district, following the existing medical college hospital at Vandanam.
Budget Highlights
The state budget also emphasizes the development of Alappuzha as Kerala's blue economy capital, focusing on marine and coastal resources. However, farmers in Kuttanad expressed disappointment as no package was announced for the paddy sector. There was no mention of addressing paddy production issues or the long-pending Kuttanad package. The only concession was a promise to streamline paddy procurement and ensure farmers receive the correct procurement price.
