- USS has been introduced by bringing all major government departments under one roof in every local body for addressing the genuine grievances of the public within 45 days from the day of submission of their petition.
- The launch of the Ungaludan Stalin Scheme (USS) is likely the Assured Maximum Service to Marginal People in All Villages (AMMA) scheme, launched in 2013.
- AMMA scheme was implemented by the previous AIADMK government when Jayalalithaa was Chief Minister.
- The two schemes have a common objective - providing government services at the people’s doorstep.
- Apart from redressing the grievances of the people, both the schemes pave the way for enrolment of new beneficiaries under various schemes.
- The two schemes differ in scope, according to a perusal of the government orders issued in March 2013 (on the AMMA scheme), and in June 2025 (on USS).
- The key difference between the two schemes is that while the former took care of only those in rural areas, the latter will cover people in urban areas, too.
- As per the G.O. issued by the Public (Mudhalvarin Mugavari) Department, a total of 10,000 camps would be held in the next four months (till November).
- In urban areas, 3,768 camps would be conducted and, in rural areas, 6,232.
- Among districts, Salem accounts for the highest number of camps at 432, followed by Chennai (400) and Tiruvallur (389).
- The current government’s latest initiative is an improved version of Makkaludan Mudhalvar, which was inaugurated in urban areas in November 2023 and extended to the remaining areas gradually.
- The USS had been launched with a “door-to-door campaign”.
- Ungalai Thedi Ungal Ooril was another outreach programme of the government launched in January 2024.
- Here Collectors would stay in a given taluk on a designated day for 24 hours to take up field visits, interact with the public, and get feedback on government schemes.
- The Mudhalvarin Mugavari programme was launched in 2021.
- The Makkaludan Mudhalvar programme was launched in 2023.
