S M Rashid Haji, the president of the Association told media persons on Tuesday that they have already distributed cards to around 85 beneficiaries.

“Today, we distributed beneficiary cards, health cards and free SIM cards to the sole bread winners of 32 poor families. In the past we had distributed such cards to over 50 beneficiaries,” he said.

He said that aspirants of the beneficiary cards can still apply for the same with a certificate from their jurisdictional mosque jamaaths. The last date to submit applications is November 30, 2016.

The intention behind the formation of the Association was to help the poor families in case of the sudden demise of their breadwinners. The Association will donate Rs 2 lakh to the family of each beneficiary card holder after his or her demise.

The families of only those who get beneficiary cards from DKMA will be eligible to receive the amount after their demise. They beneficiaries will also be eligible to get free treatment at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital at Deralakatte.

He said that the Association will distribute beneficiary cards the poor men or women only if they were the breadwinners of their family. “Cards will not be distributed to those who don't work,” he clarified.

Donors Mansoor Azad, Shaukath, Asif Home Plus and Sulaiman Karaya were present on the occasion.

Kasaragod, June 2: As Kerala commenced fresh academic year with online classes from Monday, a ninth-standard student at Malappuram district in North Kerala ended life allegedly owing to lack of online study facilities like television connection and a smartphone at her house.

Devika, daughter of Balakrishnan, hailing from a Dalit community at Valancherry, about 25 kilometres from Malappuram town, ended her life.

Balakrishnan told the media that he could not recharge the television connection owing to financial crunches. He was working as a daily wage worker and owing to COVID-19 and lockdown, he was not having much work these days. 

The family also did not have a smartphone or computer. The family members alleged that Devika was quite upset as she could not attend the virtual class that began on Monday. She was a student of a nearby government school.

Local police said that Devika, who was the eldest among four children of Balakrishnan, was suspected to have self-immolated using kerosene at a premise close to her house on Monday evening. The cause and provocations were still being probed only. No suicide notes were recovered yet.
