This monthly outreach initiative, spearheaded by the regional office in Salem, aims to bring EPFO services closer to beneficiaries.

During the program, special emphasis was placed on settling death claims, with Pension Payment Orders (PPOs) handed over to the family members of deceased EPF members.
