On the one hand, the party’s Madurai rural district got a spacious office for meetings, party work, cadre-orientation and related activities. And, on the other side it has been performing a focused free public service through a dedicated team by setting up a well-equipped registration and guidance centre to help people avail the welfare schemes introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.
