Tamil Nadu chief minister Stalin gives 100k power connection certificates to farmers
Chennai Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin launched a scheme on Thursday to provide 100,000 power connections to farmers, hitting out at the previous AIADMK regime for “ruining” the state-run electricity corporation.
Rolling out the ₹3,025-crore scheme, Stalin distributed orders for providing electricity connections for pumpsets to 10 farmers at a function held at the Anna Centenary Library Auditorium here.
The ‘one lakh connection scheme’ would be useful for generations after generations, he said. “Since farmers will be benefited, they will be producing food not only for them but for the people of the whole state.”
The scheme was recently announced in the state assembly during the demand for grants (2021-22) for the energy department.
