Maintenance of street lights is one of the essential functions of the Gram Panchayats and most of these street lights are standard bulbs whose maintenance is costly and a real burden to Gram Panchayats which are lacking any financial sources for their own to clear the electricity consumption charges. The TDP Government under the visionary leadership of the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Shri. Nara Chandrababu Naidu initiated a street lights maintenance project called Chandra Kanthi-LED Street Lights.

 

In order to provide a cost-effective and long-lasting solution, The then-state Chief Minister Shri. Nara Chandrababu Naidu and the TDP Government in Andhra Pradesh

has taken a policy decision to retrofit all existing conventional Street lights with Modern, Efficient and Intelligent LED Street lighting systems in all Gram Panchayats in the State under the “Chandra Kanthi” Project during the 2017-18.
