Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin inaugurated a Samathuvapuram, or equality village, at Singampunari near Sivaganga comprising 100 houses, a park, library, a creche, among other facilities. The Rs 3.5 crore Sivaganga village inaugurated is the 235th such facility in the state and ninth in the district. The project was announced in 2010-11 but after the DMK defeat in 2011 Assembly polls, the AIADMK government did not pursue their rival’s signature project. The idea of Samathuvapuram was mooted to promote spatial equality, social harmony and social capital of the weakened, marginalised and rural sections.
