Imphal, March 04 2023:
Langthabal Kendra Widows' Welfare Association under the sponsorship of Langthabal MLA Karam Shyam distributed educational financial assistance to widows in the constituency.
The annual assistance provided since the last 10 years has been initiated by the MLA to provide financial support towards education for children of widows.
Speaking during the function held at Chajing Mairenkhong community hall on Saturday, MLA Shyam informed that the assistance provided to widows for education of their children is a non-political initiative he took up to support the people of his constituency.
Parents are facing financial hardships in providing education for their children and single parents are facing more hardships than others and the assistance is being provided to support the widows, he said.
The MLA also observed that sending children to good schools is not enough for better education but it needs full attention of the parents and emphasised on the importance of instilling the sense of morality, good behaviour and social education right from the grassroots level in order to make the children good members of the society when they grow up.
Financial assistance of Rs 2000 each was provided to 412 children of widows during the programme, which was attended by executive members of the association, central committee members and BJP Langthabal Kendra leaders.
