Need To Include Namakkal City Under Amrut Scheme. on 8 August, 2016
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to include Namakkal City under AMRUT scheme.
SHRI P.R. SUNDARAM (NAMAKKAL): I would like to urge the Government to include Namakkal Municipality in the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation. Namakkal is one of the 32 Cities/Towns in Tamil Nadu originally qualified for inclusion under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT). Namakkal meets the criteria for this mission. It is famous for its lorry body building industries and poultry farm. It is India's 2nd biggest egg producing region and it has floating population above 50,000 per day. In this regard, our Hon'ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has already urged the government in include Namakkal under Atal mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation. The inclusion of this city under this mission would pave way for more development of this city. Therefore, I request the Government to include the city under AMRUT and allocate funds accordingly at the earliest.
