There would be a programme every month, besides holding 'Haritat Haram' with a slogan 'we can't give assets, we will give oxygen'. He said during the last 35 years the organisation and the union were taking care of its employees and were ahead in conducting social service programmes like, at times of drought, extending financial assistance, providing fodder for cattle and running gruel centres by the union.
