Ganesan elected new Madurai urban district secretary of party
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has sought the State government to allocate ₹500 crore to Madurai Corporation for the city administration to expedite various development works on a war footing. A resolution to this effect was passed at the two-day 23rd Madurai urban district unit conference that concluded here on Sunday.
M. Ganesan, a former councillor of Madurai Corporation, was elected as party’s urban district unit secretary.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
