ROING, 17 Jun: The All Puroik Students’ Union (APSU) conducted an awareness programme on the beneficial schemes for unorganised labourers here in Lower Dibang Valley (LDV) district on 15 and 16 June.
During the programme, members of the union informed the unorganised Puroik labourers about the schemes for unorganised labourers which they can avail.
