Imphal, August 01 2022:
While pointing that many Gram Panhcayats (GPs) in Kshetrigao AC still do not have Self Helf Group (SHG), MLA Sheikh Noorul Hassan has assured to facilitate in setting up of SHGS in such GPs in addition to establishing Village Level Federations (VLF) within 1-2 years so as to generate income of the people residing in the areas.
He was speaking as chief guest of inaugural function of a Convergence Achievement Mela organised jointly by Kshterigao Part-I GP and Kshetri Bengoon All Nisha VLF to promote Manipur State Rural Livelihood Mission (MSRLM) at the community hall, Kshetri Awang Leikai, ABA Ground on Monday.

In his speech, MLA Noorul Hassan stated that the Constitution has given the right to all citizens in the country to avail the benefits of various government schemes, subject to their existing status.

During the Mela, different departments dealing with CMHT, Ration Card, Ujjwala gas, Farmer Card Old Age Pen sion, Weaving card, widow pension, labour card and birth certificates set up stalls to facilitate the public.
