ELECTION PROCESS IN A DEMOCRATIC SET UP- ROLE OF AN MLA

The State Assembly elections are to be held in Kerala on 13th April, 2011. As the campaign gathers momentum to a full swing, kids wonder as to what is going around. In my efforts to explain various aspects regarding this topic, the brochure by our own MLA, A.Pradeepkumar came in handy. A model worth replication, I used the same to describe about the role of an MLA, limited just to education scenario, that too in our own vicinity.






Sky has been his limit for all endeavours. Peep in to this slide show and read how he has been appreciated for his dedicated mission by Jnanapith Award winner, Shri,M.T.Vasudevan Nair...




Further details on the process as elaborated to my kids would be updated soon...
