Minister of Rural Development I. Periysamy kicked off ‘Neengal Nalama,’ scheme in Dindigul on Wednesday.  

Following launch of the scheme, Mr. Periyasamy reached out to beneficiaries of various schemes and the public to hear about their grievances. 

He contacted a woman named Maheswari Sridhar from Athoor panchayat union over phone and enquired her about the development in the construction of her house which was funded by Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and the State government. 

Mrs. Sridhar replied that due to the construction of the new house they were relieved as the old house in which they were living was not enough to accommodate all her family members.  

Further, he enquired various people about the PMAY scheme and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) about the benefits they enjoyed out of the schemes. He also asked whether the MGNREGA scheme was being properly implemented in their villages.
