Union Minister of State for
Road Transport, Highways and Shipping pon. Radhakrishnan has adopted
Muthalakurichi in the Thuckalaya Panchayat union of Nagercoil Distict under the
Saansad Adharsh Gram Yojana.
The former Union Minister, Mr. Anbumani
Ramadoss (PMK), has adopted Mottankurichi panchayat in Dharmapuri district
under Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana. (This panchayt comes under Nathampedu, native
place of Subramani who fell prey to the bullets of the police during the
agitation seeking separate reservation for the Most Backward Classes in Tamil
Nadu. Twenty-one persons were killed in the police firing. The PMK has erected
a memorial at Nathampedu for Subramani.)
DMK Rajya Sabha MP, Ms. Kanimozhi adopted Sri Venkateswarapuram
village in Tuticorin. She visited the village and promised basic
infrastructure. Kanimozhi said priority would be accorded for improving
sanitation, drinking water supply, desilting of water bodies and woman
empowerment. She said, efforts would be made to bring solar power to this
remote village.
In Tamil Nadu, only Kanimozhi and Anbumani have adopted
villages under the Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana scheme so far. MPs are expected
to use the 5 crore MPLAD fund for the development of villages.
The blueprint of the scheme, launched by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, allows Members of Parliament to identify and develop one village
from their constituency as a model village by 2016, and two more by 2019.
