Wayanad: Country’s First District to Provide Basic Documents to all Tribals

Kerala's Wayanad became the first district in the country to provide basic documents and facilities such as Aadhaar cards, ration cards, birth/death certificates, election ID cards, bank accounts to all tribes people.

• The drive was launched in November 2021 at Thondarnadu grama panchayat. The campaign is aimed at ensuring basic documents to all citizens belonging to the Scheduled Tribes communities and these documents are digitalised and saved in DigiLocker accounts opened for them.
