The Government of India has granted USD 97,000 to the Government of Maldives to install street lights in Kolhufushi, Meemu Atoll.
Installing proper street light systems in the island is critical to provide a safe environment for the people of Kolhufushi, especially for women and the elderly.
The grant assistance has been provided through the aid scheme to the Maldives agreed during the visit of the Minister of External Affairs of India in March 2019. The aim of the grant assistance is to conduct socio-economic development projects across the country.
