KORAPUT: A meeting to sensitise the organisations on harmonised approach to cash transfers was organised by UNICEF at Koraput on Friday.
The new way of cash transactions among organisations at different levels would simplify policies and procedures apart from increasing overall effectiveness of UN operations in the field, Ms. Ramani, officer from UNICEF, Bhubaneswar, said.

Sanjit Patnaik of SOVA, Koraput and Lalmohan Patnaik of BCC, Jeypore contributed Rs13,000 for children in the age group of 0-14 years of age in the district.

Need for tribal schools
The development of the underprivileged in Koraput region was constantly rising, said Damabarudhar Ulaka, chairperson, departmentally related standing committee on ST & SC development, minorities, OBC welfare, labour employment and public enterprise at Koraput on Friday.
