Date:

Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin on Monday rolled out a ₹1,320-crore infrastructure package spanning higher-education campuses, affordable housing and civic upgrades across Chennai and 14 other districts. He inaugurated a ₹42-crore, 455-bed girls’ hostel at Queen Mary’s College, pledged a ₹28-crore research hostel at Madras University and laid a ₹5-crore foundation stone for a modern auditorium on the campus. State-wide, he opened college projects worth ₹120 crore and launched new classrooms, labs and hostels valued at another ₹207.82 crore, including ₹25 crore to rebuild hostels at Central Polytechnic College, Taramani.

The housing push saw keys handed over for 4,978 tenements built under the ‘Housing for All’ scheme at a cost of ₹527.84 crore, with the largest cluster—864 units—rising at Sammanthapuram in Virudhunagar.

To boost liveability, Stalin unveiled four open-air fitness parks, renovated bus stands in Thiruvanmiyur, Avadi and Ayyappanthangal, and kicked off ecological works ranging from a green park and water-absorption park to pond rejuvenation and a cold-storage unit at Koyambedu. Officials said the multi-sector push will create jobs and lift quality of life statewide.
