The ‘Bell of Faith’ scheme will now be implemented for elderly people who live alone in villages. Previously, this scheme had been successfully implemented in a number of urban Kerala households.It is a safety initiative conceived as part of Kerala’s Community Policing Scheme.
In an emergency, it will assist elderly citizens in attracting the attention of their neighbours by using a loud, remote-controlled alarm.
It has been in effect in Kerala since 2018.
