As part of the “Ungaludan Stalin” initiative announced by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, a total of 432 special camps will be organised across Salem district from July 15 to November 15, 2025, to take government services directly to the people, said Collector R. Brindha Devi on Saturday (July 12, 2025).

Briefing media persons at the Collectorate, she said the scheme will be launched state-wide on July 15, 2025, and aims to address people’s grievances by delivering public services at their doorstep, particularly in remote areas. A total of 120 camps will be conducted in Salem during the first phase, from July 15 to August 14, 2025. The camps will cover both urban and rural areas, with 168 camps in urban regions and 264 in rural areas.

To create awareness and facilitate participation, 1,161 volunteers have been engaged in a door-to-door campaign since July 8, distributing application forms and scheme-related information booklets.

The Collector said a wide range of government services will also be provided . In urban areas, 43 services from 13 departments will be made available, while in rural areas, 46 services from 15 departments will be offered. Applications received at the camps will be processed within 45 days, she added.

She also stated that women eligible for the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai Scheme, who may have missed applying earlier, can submit their applications at these camps. Applications for this scheme will be accepted only at the “Ungaludan Stalin” camps.

The camps will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the public is encouraged to participate and avail themselves of the services offered.
