The Commissioner requested the teachers at the various school camps to offer their full cooperation to verify if the Aadhar cards were connected and then fill up the applications for processing the loans. Prior to this he met the roadside vendors at Pothys corner, Townhall and those at the Vadavalli bus stand and informed them about the special camps and instructed them on the ways to obtain the loan and to register at the special camps.

The Central Zone Deputy Commissioner Mahesh Kanagaraj, West Zone Deputy Commissioner A.J. Senthil Arasan, and Women's Scheme Project Director Selvarasu were present for this inspection.
