1. CM kick-starts registration for Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam
In Dharmapuri district where the self-help group (SHG) movement was launched by the DMK government nearly 34 years ago, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin launched the camps for registration of applications under the monthly rights grant scheme for women heads of families — Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam, at Thoppur.
Underlining that the scheme was not a welfare benefit, the CM called it a right, and an outcome of the recognition of historically unpaid women’s labour, thus making them self-reliant and economically independent.
