The commission directed the State government to make use of the services of a charitable trust which had volunteered to set up special schools and hospitals for Endosulfan victims.
The NHRC held a meeting here on Tuesday to review the implementation of its recommendations on the Endosulfan issue.
Secretary of the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), who participated in the meeting, told the meeting that an epidemiological study was already going on in the area through the local Calicut Medical College and the data was likely to be available soon. The ICMR had already constituted a committee to examine the NIOH report on Endosulfan.
This committee would also evaluate the data generated by the Medical College and help in planning further studies by them. The committee would also be requested to examine the feasibility of conducting a study in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana and Karnataka.
A meeting to review the action taken on the proposed activities of the Kerala government covering social security as well as medical facilities for the victims of Endosulfan use would be held after two months, the NHRC said.
Additional Health Secretary of the Central government said a health team had visited Kerala recently to discuss the assistance which could be provided by the Health Ministry for Endosulfan victims.
The Health Ministry would seek to provide for up gradation of medical facilities in the affected area.
The Kerala government, which sought adequate financial and medical help from the Centre for providing relief to Endosulfan victims, said the monthly assistance to the 4,273 Endosulfan victims had been increased by the Kerala government to Rs.2,000 from Rs.300 from December 2010.
