Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Saturday February 13,2016 announced 'Amma Kudineer
Thittam' - a new scheme for supplying drinking water to those who cannot
afford to buy purified drinking water from private players.
"The rich and the affluent in Chennai are buying water purified through
the reverse osmosis process. It is the desire of the poor and the
deprived sections to use that water too. I have ordered to implement a
new scheme 'Amma Kudineer Scheme' to fulfil their desire," Ms.
Jayalalithaa said in a statement.
In the first phase, 100 places with the most number of poor people would
be identified within Greater Chennai Corporation limits and water
supplying points would be established. "20 litres of purified water
would be supplied a day for a family," she said.Based on the response
received, more supply points would be established and smart cards would
be issued to beneficiaries, she added.
