Tamenglong, July 04 2021:
Along with conducting awareness programme on Covid-19 vaccination at Saramba village, political activist Appolos T Panmei distributed PMJAY & CMHT health scheme cards to 570 beneficiaries of eight villages falling under Saramba Circle.
Appolos Panmei, who is preparing to contest the ADC election in 8-Saramba ADC constituency, initiated the awareness programme consequent to reports that the rate of Covid-19 vaccination is low in the area due to the people's ignorance and hesitancy about the vaccine.
He, thus, organised the awareness programme to clear the doubt of the villagers and to make Saramba Circle Covid-free village.
On the other hand, the programme for distribution of PMJAY & CMHT cards also included enrolment beneficiaries for the PM-Kisan Scheme & Ration cards after it came to light that many farmers and village folks are to avail benefits of the centrally funded schemes.
Around 200 farmers were enrolled for the PM-Kisan Scheme during the programme and 100 villagers listed for acquiring ration cards.
