In his presidential speech T.Ranjit Singh, IAS said that various schemes and programmes have been framed and extended in Thoubal district, and all these Government programmes are being taken up in a phased manner.

Narrating how Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme became an Act, Ranjit explained that Act has empowered the beneficiaries to get their due benefits.

The subsequent funds will be released only when the complaints are disposed off.

He appealed to the elected representatives of the local bodies to read the provisions contained in the various schemes of the scheme so that they will be able to help the common masses in getting benefits from the Government.

Moreover, RTI Act that has been implemented by the Government of India has cautioned Government officials to carry out their duties honestly and sincerely, he said, while appealing to all to use RTI judiciously for the betterment of the society.

Stating that the district authority has been doing a lot of work to make the common masses aware of the benefits they can enjoy under various schemes of the Government of India, Ranjit also expressed hope that the campaign will achieve the target of reaching out to the masses.
