Notably, this is the first visit of PM Modi to Tamil Nadu after the DMK formed the government in the state.
PM Modi will inaugurate 1,152 houses constructed under the Light House Project – Chennai. The project has been built at a cost of Rs 116 crore under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban.
PM Modi had launched the Lighthouse projects on January 1, 2021, to use new technology to complete housing projects faster while making them more resilient.
Since then, he has been regularly reviewing the status of the project, including through drone-based monitoring.
