JAYANKONDAM,09Jun08 : A township similar to that of Neyveli Lignite Corporation will take shape in Jayankondam where the foundation for Lignite Power Project
to be developed by the NLC and the State Government
would be laid next year, the Union Minister for Communications and IT A. Raja
assured on Sunday.
Implementation of the Jayankondam Lignite Power Project was vital to usher in a phenomenal economic
transformation in Jayankondam and Andimadam areas where a majority of the illiterate population comprise poor farmers and weavers, he said, delivering his keynote address after
commissioning the Indian Bank’s 1547th branch at Jayankondam.
He saw in the launch of operation of nationalised banks in the backward town a sound augury for future development, and informed
