New Delhi, Oct 21 (KNN) Minister of Commerce and Industry, Nirmala Sitharaman visited her adopted villages namely Pedhamayanavanilanka and Toorputallu in West Goadavari district of Andhra Pradesh and dedicated various projects to the two villages, completing one year of Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana in the two villages.
Projects which have been completed under various sectors in the last one year included drinking water - improving the quality of drinking water; sanitation and cleanliness - Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan; integrated solid waste management program; community infrastructure; education; financial security; multipurpose disaster relief centre, clean energy and skill development.
The two adopted villages are the first villages in the country to have individual bio-digester based toilets developed by DRDPO.
A pilot project with around 44 bio-digester based toilets funded under CSR of Jyothy Labs was completed on April 8, 2015 when these bio-digesters were dedicated to the two villages. The bio digester toilets have received an overwhelming response from the villagers.
In addition, an Integrated Solid waste management program for the two villages was inaugurated on 7th April, 2015
For financial security, special camps were organised between November 16 to 18 in the two villages to ensure that all the households are covered under Jhan Dhan Yojana and AADHAR Scheme.
As many as 3500 solar lanterns for all the households in the two adopted villages were distributed on October 17, 2015.
For clean energy, solar lanterns are of particular utility in these two villages because of the majority of population being that of fishermen who often venture out in the sea at late night.
Solar lanterns developed by SECI and NREDCAP, Andhra Pradesh also have facility to charge the mobile phones.
Funded by MPLADS funds, 4 highest priority CC roads were also provided in the two villages. (KNN Bureau)
