Great Initiative by CM Stalin for Sankranthi.. Making his own mark

by Suryaa |

These are the days when he wants to make a name for himself in small jobs. The central and state governments will not take any action for this. But Stalin, the state chief minister who has been making his mark not only on governance but also on simplicity since taking over as Tamil Nadu chief minister, has recently taken such a decision.

With this, people are getting forgiveness. The Government of Tamil Nadu is providing Sankranthi gifts to the poor. Chief Minister MK Stalin formally launched the wallpaper gift distribution program last week. Kits containing a total of 20  items are being distributed to 2.15 lakh ration card holders in the state.

Free 'Pongal' gift distribution scheme for rice ration card holders and Sri Lankan Tamils ??staying in Sri Lankan Tamil Rehabilitation Centers. It was formally inaugurated by Chief Minister MK Stalin at the Secretariat on Tuesday morning. The gift continues with turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder, mustard, pepper, cumin, ghee, tamarind, peanut butter, lentils, lentils, semolina, salt, wheat flour, jaggery, rice, cashews, raisins, cardamom and sugarcane.

Total Rs.1296. The goods will be distributed to 2.15 lakh eligible families at a cost of Rs 99 crore. These free Pongal gifts are being distributed in ration shops in the form of tokens following Covid-19 terms. Arrangements have been made to hand out tokens in advance at the homes of the deserving and to go to the ration‌ shops at the prescribed time to collect the gifts.

However, it is a privilege to present these gifts without a photo of the Chief Minister. To symbolize the uniqueness of Pongal, small squares and a bull figure are printed on the bag. On the other hand, on the occasion of Pongal, new uniforms are being presented to priests, priestesses, Bhatta Charyas and Oduvars working in 36,684 temples across Tamil Nadu.

Officials said all of them will be attending functions with new uniforms from Sankranthi. The revenue department has decided to distribute peacock-colored fringed dhovati to temple priests, bhattacharyas and priests.
