I had very enriching interactions in booth-level meetings at Mukkam (Thiruvambadi LAC) and Areekode (Eranad LAC) today. I was proud to meet our National Games stars—Aswathi, Arya, John, and Ibin—who brought volleyball glory to Wayanad, and our brave IYC workers who stood up for Chooralmala victims' rights. I also met with the delegation of farmers who nurture our land with ginger and banana cultivation and listened to the concerns of the Kalanadi community.  A special moment was meeting young Sreya, whose handmade New Year card touched my heart. These conversations remind me of the strength and spirit that makes our Wayanad unique.
