Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami has directed District Collectors to send a status report on the implementation of various welfare schemes in their respective districts after site inspections, every month.
He has also advised them to make all efforts to save every single drop of water, in view of the shortage being faced in various parts of the State.
Chairing the first meeting of District Collectors from across the State, attended by Ministers and senior officials, Mr. Palaniswami sought reports from the Collectors on the implementation of kudimaramathu, rainwater harvesting, construction of green houses, public distribution system and the nutritious meals scheme, among others.
Reports from the Collectors should also cover the implementation of services at anganwadis, drinking water supply, maintenance of streetlights, distribution of patta to the landless, support to Adi Dravidars, implementation of the ban on disposable plastic and admission of students in government schools, among other things.
