In many parts of the state, people have been waiting for months for the amounts due to them.

  • For people with multiple disabilities , the amount is Rs 1,500 per month.
  • Sari and dhoti given for Pongal and Deepavali festivals.
  • 2-kg rice per month for those who partake in noon meal scheme. 4-kg for those who do not.
