During the lockdown last year and this year, we reached out to 20,000 cine workers by giving them ration and financial assistance. TFCC has been taking up welfare measures every year."
Health cards worth Rs 5 lakh have been distributed to artists. Their children, too, have been given scholarship assistance.
