The government headed by Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami, which began with a battle for survival on February 16, 2017, is successfully stepping into its fourth year after crossing many political hurdles. All the credit goes to Palaniswami for turning all the stumbling blocks into stepping stones.
The past three years have been eventful with the Chief Minister announcing new welfare schemes for every section of the society and have been marked by sustained efforts to reach out to the common man. Palaniswami did not allow the developments within the AIADMK, in the first few months of his tenure, to affect the State administration in any way. In fact, in the past 36 months, he has cleared a whopping 16,382 files — an average of 15 files a day — proving there has been no stagnation in the taking of administrative decisions.
Several achievements
The key achievements of this government include declaring Cauvery delta as a protected special agricultural zone, implementation of the Kudimaramath scheme for rejuvenating water resources, ban on single-use plastics, successful conduct of second edition of the Global Investors Meet, providing low-cost cable connections to the poor through Arasu Cable TV, getting Central government approval for 11 new medical colleges, laying the foundation for South Asia’s biggest livestock park in Salem, receiving Krishi Karman awards for the fifth time, continuously hiking allocations for social security schemes and initiation of the Chief Minister’s Special Public Grievance Redressal Scheme.
