The Tamil Nadu government has accorded its administrative sanction for ₹702 crore for the implementation of the Member of Legislative Assembly Constituency Development Scheme (MLACDS) for 2023-24.
A Government Order by the Rural Development Department issued in this regard last week also accorded financial sanction and release of ₹351 crore (50% of the fund) for the MLACDS 2023-24. It has also framed detailed guidelines for the scheme’s implementation.
A sum of ₹3 crore has been allocated for every MLA to undertake development works in his/her Assembly constituency. Tamil Nadu has 234 Assembly constituencies.
