Through various networks and led by Tamilnadu Alliance, WORD launched the inaugural program on    14 August 2020  to start the signature campaign to demand to Rs 6000 to the people who are affected by Covid 19 in Namakkal District along with our partner NGOs- WORD, Pothanur and DONBOSCO ANBU ILLAM Society, Rasipuram. 




Mr. Thillai Sivakumar, President, Consortium of Namakkal NGOs attended the program and shared how Covid 19 impacted the normal lives of every one and affected the livelihood of the common people.

Mrs. Renida Sarala, Director, WORD Namakkal said that various welfare programs and interim relief support  offered by NGOs and by both Central and State Governments. But, Covid 19 devastated the lives of the poor and marginalised people in a greater scale. 



This signature campaign in co-ordination of various NGO networks led by Tamilnadu Alliance aimed to collect signatures from the mostly affected people of Covid 19 and those who lost their jobs to recommend a direct cash transfer of Rs 6000 from the Government.
