World Bank's southern bonanza continues. In a shot in the arm to Tamil Nadu, the bank is set to provide Rs 650 crore more for poverty alleviation programmes in the state. The bank board will take a final decision in May, sources say. A large chunk of the loan is likely to go to self-help groups in Tamil Nadu. "However, the nitty gritties are yet to be decided,' a senior official at World Bank said.
