To bring pro-people welfare measures undertaken by the SAD-BJP Government to the fore, the Shiromani Akali Dal has asked its cadre to make more and more people aware about party’s initiative  Ik Sham Sarkaar De Naal  starting from June 10.

SAD president and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal gave instructions to the leaders to gear up for 2017 assembly polls in the right earnest and give priority to strengthening the party at grassroots level by constituting circle and village level units quickly.

Instructions were given while presiding over a meeting of district presidents and office bearers of Malwa zone.

On the issue of women empowerment, Sukhbir asked them to form Mai Bhago Sewa Societies at village level to whom utensils would be distributed for common use during small functions in the villages apart from resolving their problems.

He said that the party cadre should focus on assisting the administrative officials as well as common people in making MGNREGA job cards as the Central Government had amended MGNREGA guidelines and in accordance with the new ones, now MGNREGA job card holders could also work in the farms to assist farmers.
