The World Bank has approved about a $150 million program to support Chennai’s Sustainable Urban Services.
This is to turn it into a “world-class city”.
This programme will fulfil Tamil Nadu’s vision of making Chennai into a city that is more green, liveable, and resilient towards climate change.
It will bring significant improvements in the quality of four key urban services:
Water supply and sewerage
Mobility
Health, and
Solid Waste Management.
Apart from the programme in Tamil Nadu, World Bank has also approved a $40 million project that will improve the quality of health services in the state of Meghalaya.
