Hailing the sacrifices of late freedom fighter ‘Veeramangai’ Velu Nachiar, Rural Development Minister K. R. Periakaruppan appealed to the younger generation to learn about their struggle in making India an independent nation from the colonial British regime.
After garlanding the statue of Velu Nachiar at Chettikulam in Sivaganga district on Monday marking the 292nd birth anniversary, the Minister said that she was the first woman to fight the Britishers from this part of the region, which motivated more and more people to follow her in the struggle.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
