The Tamil Nadu government would take up 788 different projects in 234 constituencies under the ‘Chief Minister in your constituency’ initiative, at a total cost of ₹11,239 crore, in 2023-24, a government release said.
As many as 203 projects at a cost of ₹5,901 crore would be taken up in 2024-25, it added. The decision was taken on Saturday at a meeting of a high-level committee constituted to grant approval for projects to be taken up under the scheme. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin chaired the meeting at the Secretariat.
Under the scheme, announced by Mr. Stalin in 2022, all 234 legislators should furnish a list of 10 long-pending projects in their constituencies to the Collectors of their districts. The district-level committees, which included the Collectors and the MLAs, had recommended a total of 1,896 projects to the government.
