#LIVE: @TANGEDCO_Offcl சார்பில் 50 ஆயிரம் உழவர்களுக்கு புதிய இலவச மின் இணைப்புகள் வழங்கிச் சிறப்புரை https://t.co/vuEdxznu43

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin presided over a momentous agricultural welfare ceremony organized by TANGEDCO in Chennai, distributing new free electricity connection orders to 50,000 farmers across the state. This major disbursement successfully completed the ambitious drive to provide 1.50 lakh farm power connections within eighteen months, fulfilling a central pledge of the DMK election manifesto and eliminating massive historical backlogs that had stalled agricultural expansion for over a decade.

Addressing thousands of farmers gathered physically and virtually across district centers, Stalin emphasized that former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi first introduced universal free electricity for agriculturists in 1989, establishing an enduring Dravidian welfare foundation that transformed Tamil Nadu into a food-surplus state. The current administration has revitalized TANGEDCO's transmission infrastructure, installing dedicated transformers and high-tension transmission lines to deliver uninterrupted, high-voltage agricultural power directly to rural fields.

Stalin assured farmers that the state will continue protecting their agricultural interests through dedicated annual agriculture budgets and timely crop subsidies. By guaranteeing reliable, cost-free energy for rural irrigation, Tamil Nadu reinforces farmer prosperity and preserves sustainable agrarian livelihoods across every rural district statewide.
