There was a Request letter from TamilNadu Tribal Nomads Federation, President Mr M.R.Murugan dt 02 Sep2021, for provision of Solar Lights & SMART TV for helping the school children of the Community, living in an un-electrified settlement, to study.

The issues involved were discussed with Mr Nambirajan SELCO SOLAR,Madurai, who after inspection & technical evaluation, presented a Project Proposal for this Project on 2nd November 2021, with the total estimated cost over Rs 1 lakh,for the Solar System + the SMART TV & Local purchase items.
