ERODE: Namakkal Collector G. Sundaramurthi said rather than giving financial assistance to the poor it was better to provide training, so that they earn their livelihood.

Participating in a function organised to distribute certificates to 30 persons who had completed training in health assistants programme in Tiruchengode on Thursday, he said by giving such training, the poor made their living with dignity.
