NAGAPATTINAM: A special four-day programme for rating the performance of the women self-help groups (SHG) formed under the ‘Mahalir Thittam’ project in the district will commence on June 16.

The rating will facilitate the groups to be eligible for revolving fund assistance and credit linkage benefits.

In a press release issued here on Tuesday, the District Collector, C. Munianathan, said that the following is the schedule for rating of the SHGs to be held at the panchayat union offices mentioned alongside: June 16 (Nagapattinam, Keezhaiyur, Tirumarugal); June 17 (Thalaignayiru, Vedaranyam and Kilvelur); June 18 (Sembanarkovil, Kuthalam and Mayiladuturai); June 19 (Sirkazhi and Kollidam).

The Collector appealed to the leaders of the Panchayat Union-level Federation to ensure effective participation of all the SHGs at these meetings to qualify for the governmental financial assistance.
