"The state government had sanctioned Rs 672 crore for TTAADC. Currently, TTAADC owes Rs 154 crore to the state government. The lack of allocated funds is hindering the development work in the TTAADC area. A significant portion of the budget allocation is dedicated to paying salaries and allowances of employees. It becomes challenging to sustain the development work in the TTAADC area with the remaining amount," he asserted.

The CEM further informed that efforts will be made to provide employment to the unemployed in the next financial year. Initiatives are also planned to open more zonal, sub-zonal, and school inspector offices with the aim of facilitating administrative work for the people.
