Tamil Nadu: The Chief Minister will launch several more welfare schemes under the Dravidian Model 2.0 regime. Therefore, the Chief Minister should be given another chance to work for the people, said Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi.
Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin attended a government function at the Government Medical College Grounds in Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli district, on Thursday and inaugurated four completed projects worth ₹3.30 crore. He laid the foundation stone for three projects worth ₹57 crore. Following this, he distributed welfare schemes worth ₹109.01 crore to 18,830 beneficiaries, and spoke as follows: The Chief Minister’s first signature initiative after coming to power in 2021 was the Vidyalaya Jastha Scheme for women. The Chief Minister also implemented the Breakfast Scheme, an unspoken promise in the election manifesto. Currently, laptops have been distributed to 1 million college students. The most significant of these is the Kalaignar Women’s Rights Scheme. In the last three years, 13.1 million women have been granted women’s rights.
Some people tried to stop the women’s rights payments, citing the Assembly elections as an excuse. However, the Chief Minister provided a total of 5,000 rupees to women, including three months’ women’s rights payment and a special summer fund of 2,000 rupees.
In addition, he provided 2,000 rupees to 3.8 million backward people as a special summer fund.
Many projects have been initiated in Tirunelveli district in the last five years. The Porunai Museum was built at a cost of 56 crore rupees to showcase Tamil civilization to the world.
The Western Bypass Road is being constructed at a cost of 180 crore rupees. The DMK government is implementing numerous schemes. Through this, Tamil Nadu has become the first state in the country to achieve economic growth of 11.19 percent. Your love and support are essential to continue this growth.
Rs. ₹1.20 lakh crore loan for women: The Chief Minister has ordered us to fulfill any request from self-help groups at any time. Last year, women’s self-help groups requested identity cards. Following this, identity cards were issued to them. This has provided women’s self-help groups with numerous benefits. In the last five years, women’s self-help groups have been granted bank loans worth ₹1.20 lakh crore.
The days of going to government offices to apply for land ownership are over. Now, the government itself comes to your home and grants land ownership rights.
