Dr.AMMA J.Jayalalitha reduces Gas price by Rs. 15 in Tamilnadu

In a bid to offer some relief to the common man, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaa Tuesday ordered abolition of value added tax (VAT) on the cooking gas, bringing down its price by Rs.15 per cylinder.

In a statement issued here, the state government said it was waiving the four percent VAT on cooking gas from July onwards making the fuel cheaper by around Rs.15 per cylinder of 14.4 kg.

After the recent hike in fuel prices, cooking gas cost Rs.404 in the state. With the abolition of VAT, it will cost around Rs.390 for households.

The state government will be forgoing around Rs.120 crore in value added tax revenue due to this move.

Jayalalithaa had described as a joke the central governments advice to states to reduce VAT on cooking gas after hiking its price exhorbitantly by Rs.50 a cylinder.

Condemning the price hike, Jayalalithaa had said the move would have a cascading effect and result in all-round price increase.

She said the state government decided to abolish VAT as there is no sign of the central government rolling back the price hike.

Anna varsity to be fountain head of Eng education in TN

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today announced that Anna Universities in Tiruchirapalli Coimbatore, Tirunelveli and Madurai would also be brought under the control of the Anna University here. An official press release said the Anna Universities Integration Act would come into effect from August 1. Consequently, 535 self-financing and aided engineering colleges would come under the university. She said her government has been taking all efforts to ensure that students are provided quality education, For the development of human resources, education was an important tool. 'In a bid to give importance to technical education, former Chief Minister MGR had started a university in the name of Anna on 4 September, 1978, she recalled. 'In 2001, during her previous regime, in a bid to have proper supervision and ensure that students get quality education in the 237 self-financing and aided engineering colleges, made them affiliated colleges of Anna University. Also, the certificates issued by Anna University are given greater recognition globally, she said. 'Opening of more engineering colleges will not improve the quality of education. By bifurcating the Anna University, Chennai, it had lost its strength. As a result of which the quality of education has not improved. Hence, a Bill was passed in 2011 in the State Assembly to merge these universities with a view to ensuring uniform standards in technical education across the state', she said. For administrative purposes, zonal offices would be opened in Tiruchi, Tirunelveli, Coimbatore and Madurai, the release said. For those who joined these five universities before 2011-2012, all examinations for November-December 2011 would be conducted on the campus of the respective universities. From now on, examinations, including the ones held in January and in May 2012 would be held by Anna University in 17 zonal offices, she also announced in the release.

Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has ordered purchase of 54 thousand modern tailoring machines for the members of the Women Tailoring Cooperative societies at a cost of 54 crore rupees. She has also ordered a hike in their wages by 5 percent annually.

Women Self help groups had been formed by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa in 1991-1992 to help uplift the livelihood of women, and to ensure that they made a living on their own. These self help groups are now functioning across the state.


To augment the income of women, they are also being employed by the government in Anganwadis and Nutritious Noon meal centres. The government led by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has been implementing various welfare schemes for the upliftment of the economic status of women, a Tamil Nadu government press release today said.


Two sets of uniforms given to school students, who are beneficiaries under the Puratchi Thalaivar MGR Nutritious Meal Scheme, are being stitched by the Women Tailoring cooperative societies. From this year, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has ordered distribution of 4 sets of uniforms to the students. To make sure that the additional uniforms given from this year, are given on time, and considering that the members of these cooperative societies should get additional income, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has ordered purchase of 54 thousand modern tailoring machines at a cost of 54 crore rupees through the Women Tailoring Cooperative societies and to impart training to the members to handle the modern tailoring machines. She has also ordered a hike in the wages of members by five percent every year. This will come into force from 2013-2014.


The funds for the buying of tailoring machines will be obtained as loan from the District Central cooperative Bank and will be distributed to the members through the Women Tailoring Cooperative societies in which they are members. Ten percent of the cost of the tailoring machines which should be paid to the bank as down payment to obtain the loan will be deposited by the government as subsidy. This will cost the government 5.40 crore rupees. Minimal interest will be collected from the members towards the loan and they should fully repay the loan, as monthly installments or yearly installments within a span of 5 years.


Through this initiative of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, the work efficiency of those working at the Women Tailoring Cooperative Societies will improve and their work will also get easier. This apart, the quality of the uniforms will also improve. They will be able to deliver the uniforms to students within a short span of time and can use the remaining time for stitching clothes for others and earn additional income through that. This tailoring machine will become the exclusive property of the members and will also help them in becoming entrepreneurs, the release added.
