Voluntary organisations form federation

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, NOV. 2. Over 20 leading voluntary organisations of the city announced the formation of a federation that ``would unite them in the hour of crisis and be of mutual help''.

At a meeting convened by Exnora International, representatives of leading voluntary organisations including Udavaum Karangal, The Banyan, Sivananda Saraswathi Sevashram, Vidya Sagar and SCARF stressed the need for networking service-minded organisations.

All the representatives also expressed solidarity with the Exnora International, which was being vilified in some quarters and its office-bearers a target of mud-slinging in recent times. ``One should not get discouraged by any motivated reports,'' most of the social workers said.
