Rural Electrification was Karunanidhi’s success, claims A Raja. Tamil Nadu was one of the first states to achieve 100% Rural Electrification. No doubts about it. But was it DMK’s achievement?
Rural Electrification Corporation was formed by the Central government in 1969. And as per REC, 100% of Villages were electrified in 1987. And not 1975. But these do not cover Hamlets (குக்கிராமங்கள்) recindia.nic.in/download/TAMIL…
During 1975-76 Rural electrification statistics, it was reported that 14,502 Villages (Including Hamlets) were electrified 8 before the survey was conducted. Means 14,502 Villages had received electricity before 1967. mospi.nic.in/sites/default/…
As per TNRD, 47,794 out of 48,845 (99.89%) Hamlets were electrified by 31.03.1995. As per the Power ministry report in 2011, 115 Hamlets had not received electricity.
As of March 2004, Only 78.2% Rural Households had power. Sembukkarai, a village in TN got TV from Karunanidhi but his village never got power till 2017.

After 2014, ₹922 Crores has been spent on Rural electrification and only in 2019, 100% households have been electrified. Starting from Kamarajar to EPS, everyone has contributed to rural electrification. Not only Karunanidhi.

Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER): What does the 49 GER of TN really mean?

Quick understanding of GER👇

Conducted for the year 2018 - 19

Conducted By : All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) - Formulated basis of recommendations of the 12th planning commission
Higher Education: Which is obtained after completing 12 years of schooling & is of the duration of at least 9 months (full time)

or

after completing 10 years of schooling & is of the duration of at least 3 years.
Age group : 18 to 23 years old

GER means the number of students enrolled in that year. Does not necessarily mean new students enrolled for Higher Edu.

For example the same student can continue to appear as enrolled for multiple years if he does UG + PG + Phd

Now the numbers 👇

₹16,500 Crores Freebie for 1.6% Voters.

DMK promised Education Loan waiver in their 2016 Poll Manifesto. Total loan due then was ₹17,000 Cr

DMK promises Education loan waiver for 2021 Election. Total loan due as of 2019 was ₹16,500 Cr
Last year for 24,315 Applicants, loan disbursed was ₹740.87 Crores. Average loan per applicant is 3 Lakhs.

So for ₹16,500 Crore loan, it is roughly 5.5 Lakh applicants. Assuming the family will vote for this; this roughly translates to 15 Lakh Votes.
On an average we see only 70% voter turnout and presuming 80% of these beneficiaries decide to cast their vote for DMK - 8.4 Lakh Voters (15 Lakh x 0.7 x 0.8).

₹16,500 Crores proposed expenditure for 1.6% Voters.

Vote wisely people.
