Mr. Narayanasamy told The Hindu here on his return from Delhi after his appointment as AICC general secretary that such a facility would enable members to face the competition and go ahead with their self-employment projects.

He said the Central Government and also Pondicherry Government had implemented several measures for amelioration of the lot of the women and also generation of employment opportunities through various schemes. Women should come forward to take up social and political issues.
