CUDDALORE:
Rural Industries Minister M.C. Sampath and Social Welfare Minister Selvi Ramajayam gave away assistance worth Rs. 4.3 lakh at a function here on Saturday.
The aid included wheel-chairs to differently abled persons and marriage and educational assistance. Later, both Ministers held a review meeting with the officials and took stock of the performance of various departments. Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Sampath said that Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had been taking speedy measures for the implementation of the election promises. She had already issued orders in regard to promises, including the free rice scheme, enhanced compensation to fishermen and marriage assistance.
Under the marriage assistance, the Chief Minister had been giving away Rs. 50,000 in cash and four grams of gold to women who had obtained degrees and Rs. 25,000 and four grams of gold to women who had completed Class X. Mr. Sampath called upon the officials to work with vigour to take the benefits of the welfare schemes to the poor and downtrodden. Ms. Ramajayam said that the Chief Minister had been considerate enough to fulfil the demands of people. However, she had been receiving many petitions seeking streetlights and water supply and it meant that block-level officials were still lagging behind in discharging their responsibilities.
Ms. Ramajayam urged the officials to work in such a way that the benefits of all government schemes reached the target groups. Collector V. Amuthavalli, District Revenue Officer C. Rajendran, and MLAs Sorathur R. Rajendran, M.P.S. Sivasubramanian, K. Balakrishnan and Murugumaran were present.
