I am Santhanamari from PTS. We have Cholan nagar incharge with us. She is asking us what will Modi do now for young widows? She is here to talk more about it. Padma: I am Cholan nagar incharge Padmavathy. I have asked for pension. But they said that i am not old enough. I am 50 year old now. I am expecting for pension. In the same way there are many widows. They are asking for pension. Many are not getting that Rs.1000 pension amount. It will be great if they get Rs.3000. They are asking me to talk to madam and arrange to give Rs.3000. Since Modi is selected now, they are expecting to get Rs. 3000. Rs.1000 is not sufficient. Many young widows, they are not able to study and they are doing domestic help. They are unable to pay rent. Santhanamari: You are saying that there are many widows in your area. Already we have taken a survey. But now again the same Govt is elected so you are saying it will be good if they give Rs.3000 pension. For many there education is getting affected. They are unable to send their kids to school. They are unable do anything with single income. You are saying that there are many widows in your area. What can we do next. Padma: We expect that they will give pension for 50 year old. By the time they reach 55 years, they are no more. Many commit suicide because they are unable to study their kids. So they are expecting pension at the age of 50. Its been 21 years that i a in this city, people are asking me but even i have not received it. But people are asking me to arrange for them. Union is fighting for many things but Govt has not taken any decision. Even i am asking madam that i am 50 year old but i am not getting pension.
I am Rathnavalli from Pudur. Vijayalakshmi told about the domestic violence against Rosemary. I dont know what is the problem. I went to my home town so I couldn't hear Urimai kural. But came to know about the domestic violence. Whatever is the problem we all in charges are ready to come and support her. We all should support her.
Ambattur incharge's talk in Urimai kural was really good. She told that members should pay their fee on time and because of union we will get benefits. In the same way Vijayalkshmi's talk and her interview with the one who are running a home for mentally affected women was really good. I was happy to hear that. All the programs were good. And all of us should be benefited with this. I am telling everyone about UK. Thank you
I like the union very much. We like urimai kural very much. daily we are listening it. If you pay our union subscription, our union will grow and everyone will get benefit. From MKB nagar we are paying our subscriptions properly. It will be useful if other area incharges collect and pay the subscription on regular basis.
They were talking about garments. We should help them and give a shoulder of help to life them up. There is a meeting in the month of June for domestic helpers. All domestic helpers should join this meeting. Lets fight for justice.
Narrator: Hello dear workers. Ms. Kani Ambattur office in charge has taken a wonderful interview. Kani: Hello. We have our member Usha amma here with us in Ambattur office. Lets talk to her. Hello Ma, From where are you coming? And what work are you doing? Usha: I am coming from Ambattur Kallikuppam. I am a tailor. Kani: How long you have been a member in PTS? Usha: From past 12 years i am a member. Kani: Oh 12 years!! Thats great. In these 12 years, what did you learn by joining PTS? Usha: When i came to Union i was hesitant and scared too. But the madam there, gave us good motivation and guided us so well. She answered all our queries. We are satisfied and become brave. We have confidence that if we come here we will get the solution for everything. Kani: ok. You are getting the pension from past 1 year. In the month of April they asked every pensioner to give the life certificate. What did you understand on that? Usha: I have already submitted it. That is a proof to show that we are alive. The Govt is asking this to know that we are alive. I got it the certificate from union and went to Govt doctor and got the signature and submitted in Tiruvallur. You all too register it, so that you will get monthly pension. Kani: You said it right. Thats how the life certificate should be given. Are you listening to Urimai kural daily?
