From now onwards, counselling services of Snehitha Gender Help Desk would be made available to the students staying in the Government Premetric Hostels of Scheduled Caste Development Department in Kannur District. The programme which extends counselling sevices of Snehitha to the students at SC hostel is named as ' Sakheya', which itself means 'a friend'. The counsellors of Snehitha Gender Help Desk would visit the premetric hostels two days a month and arrange sittings.
