The distribution of tokens for the Pongal gift hamper along with a cash assistance of ₹3,000 has officially begun in Tiruppur district, marking the start of festive welfare measures announced by the government. The initiative aims to support families during the pongal festival and ensure that benefits reach all eligible households in a smooth and organized manner.
As part of the program, government officials and ration department staff have started door-to-door distribution of tokens across residential areas. These tokens will enable beneficiaries to collect the pongal gift hamper and the cash assistance from designated fair price shops without overcrowding or confusion.
The pongal gift package includes essential food items required for the festival, ensuring that families can celebrate pongal with joy and dignity. In addition to the gift hamper, the ₹3,000 financial assistance is expected to help households manage festival expenses and reduce financial pressure, especially for economically weaker sections.
Officials stated that the door-to-door token distribution method has been adopted to ensure transparency, efficiency, and convenience. Special care is being taken to reach senior citizens, women-headed households, and vulnerable families. Beneficiaries have been instructed to keep their ration cards ready while receiving the tokens.
Residents of Tiruppur welcomed the initiative and expressed satisfaction with the government’s efforts. Many said that the cash assistance and gift hamper would be of great help during the festive season and appreciated the doorstep service provided by officials.
Authorities have assured that strict monitoring is in place to prevent irregularities and that all eligible families will receive their benefits before Pongal. The program reflects the government’s commitment to public welfare and its focus on ensuring inclusive celebrations for all sections of society.
