Today is the fourth day of our survey to pillaiyarkuppam .It was an interesting experience as subuluxmy and me didn't do the regular survey ,instead we interviewed an Anganwadi teacher . We were so excited that we will see many children in Anganwadi but we were so disappointed that we couldn't see not even a single child .
We saw different records maintained there such as children record,pregnant women
record , lactating women record , stock record, visitor record,immunisation record,etc. We were able to know that most people in the village died because of alcohol consumption and many tuberculosis patients were also reported (about 10).
The main occupation of the village is agriculture.The people have physical activity and do have savings in bank. Old age pension and disability funds were also given from the Anganwadi based on different criteria.
