Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin on Saturday said he would monitor and hold periodical reviews to ensure that all the announcements made by various ministers in the assembly are implemented in time.

“We have devised strategies to implement each scheme announced in the assembly. They will be implemented in a phased manner. No scheme will remain as mere announcement. I am personally taking efforts to implement them. I am holding review meetings with the ministers concerned and officials of the department to speed up implementation,” Stalin said after inaugurating the monthly incentive (₹ 1,000) scheme for the priests of 12,959 temples where only one-time pooja is done every day. He inaugurated the scheme at Marundeeswarar temple in Thiruvanmiyur. The scheme was announced in the assembly and it had been launched even before the session ended, said Stalin.

The CM applauded the HR&CE ministry for implementing various schemes and said minister P K Sekar Babu deserved the moniker ‘Seyal’ (action) Babu.

He said the department was lucky to have an active minister like Babu, who was working round the clock.

Listing out various announcements like construction of houses for priests and setting up of colleges under the department, Stalin said the golden era of the department was in the offing.

He said the government had created an additional corpus fund of ₹130 crore, thereby doubling the corpus from ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh for each temple under one-time pooja scheme.

The chief minister said all schemes will be implemented in a phased manner and added that they will not remain as mere announcements
