Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday acknowledged that Tamil Nadu had been a major contributor to the country’s industrial growth.
At a function in Coimbatore to dedicate as well as lay the foundation for infrastructure projects across the State, he said Tamil Nadu had ensured uninterrupted power supply, which was essential for industrial growth.
Mr. Modi dedicated two major power projects being implemented by Neyveli Lignite Corporation, adding 709 mw solar and 1000 mw of thermal power generation to the existing capacity. The projects were implemented at ₹10,800 crore.
About 65% of the power generated, including the added capacity, was for Tamil Nadu and only the rest 35% was shared among the southern states.
For years, small businessmen and small farmers were ignored but the "NDA government has given topmost priority to these two sections," he said in his address at a public meeting in this western town of poll-bound Tamil Nadu. "It has been our honour to work for the small farmer of India. In the past seven years our efforts for small farmers are aimed at giving them a life of prosperity and dignity," he said.
