Ungalai Thedi Ungal Ooril scheme takes officials to villages, understand problems first hand

The recently launched “Ungalai Thedi Ungal Ooril” scheme has helped heads of various government departments make a deep assessment of the problems in villages and shortcomings in implementing various schemes.

The scheme is designed to enhance the efficiency and transparency of service delivery at the village level. Collectors and senior district-level officials are mandated to spend 24 hours in one taluk on the third or fourth week Wednesday of every month.

Musiri taluk was the focus of the scheme this month. Before Collector M. Pradeep Kumar and heads of various departments reached various villages of the taluk on Wednesday, second rung and field officials of various departments visited Musiri and adjacent villages to take stock of the cleanliness of the villages, drinking water supply and the progress of various departments. They collected petitions from the residents of Thandalaiputhur, where the Collector held a meeting with the officials and the residents.
