Monthly wage

Filling up the vacant posts in the Aavin by appointing the primary milk cooperative societies employees; grant of 20 per cent bonus to the milk cooperative societies employees akin to the one given to Aavin staff and supply of cattle feed at subsidised rates to the milk producers were among their other demands.
