He said that the Chief Minister himself verified the quality of each item in the JVK kit and selected them. He said that in the first phase of Nadu-Nedu, schools in the district are developed with a budget of Rs 1,000 crore, and in the second phase of the scheme they are constructing additional classrooms and infrastructure in 977 schools with a budget of Rs 420 crore.
