Pongal Gift for Ration Card Holders: The government is planning to provide a Pongal gift package and cash to all ration card holders, including government employees. Each family is expected to receive Rs. 1000.
People eagerly await Pongal after Diwali for two reasons: celebrating with family and witnessing traditional events like Jallikattu.
Pongal also features traditional sports like Jallikattu in Alanganallur, attracting spectators from various districts.
The annual Pongal gift comprises rice, sugar, sugarcane, and cash, benefiting ration card holders and government employees.
Previously, the Rs. 1000 cash gift excluded certain groups. This year, the government plans to include everyone, including government employees.
The Pongal gift is expected around January 10th, preceding the Pongal festival. The Women's Entitlement Amount will also be credited earlier.
