Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin has asserted that the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam (Women’s Rights Grant Scheme) is not just a welfare measure but a transformative step toward inclusive economic growth.
Speaking at a recent public event, stalin said the scheme will mark the next great leap in the state’s development journey by empowering women, strengthening families, and boosting rural economies.
Empowering women, Empowering tamil Nadu
The chief minister said the Dravidian Model of governance has always placed women’s empowerment at the center of social progress.
The Women’s Rights Grant — which provides ₹1,000 per month to eligible women heads of families — ensures financial independence and economic dignity for millions.
“When women stand strong, families stand strong. And when families stand strong, tamil Nadu stands strong,” stalin declared.
A Vision Beyond Welfare
Stalin emphasized that the scheme is not merely a cash transfer, but a strategic investment in human development.
He said the policy’s true purpose is to enable women to make decisions freely, participate in the workforce, and contribute directly to the state’s growth.
“This is not charity — it’s a right,” he said, reaffirming that economic equality is the foundation of social justice.
Reaching Every Household
Under the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam, lakhs of women across tamil Nadu have already begun receiving the benefit directly into their bank accounts.
The chief minister said this initiative represents the government’s promise to deliver social justice to the doorstep of every woman, regardless of caste, religion, or region.
Driving Grassroots Development
Stalin explained that the scheme would have a multiplier effect on tamil Nadu’s economy by:
· Encouraging local spending and rural trade
· Supporting education and healthcare within families
· Reducing household debt and dependence
· Promoting financial inclusion for women who had never owned bank accounts before
“Every rupee that reaches a woman’s hand strengthens the foundation of our state’s economy,” he added.
The Dravidian Model in Action
The chief minister reiterated that the Women’s Rights Grant is an embodiment of the Dravidian Model of governance, which prioritizes equity, education, and empowerment.
He said the scheme is a reflection of the principles laid down by Periyar, Anna, and Kalaignar, who envisioned a society of equals.
Recognition Beyond Borders
Stalin noted that tamil Nadu’s women-centric welfare policies have drawn national and international recognition.
Global development experts have cited the scheme as an innovative approach to poverty reduction and gender equality in governance.
“A New Chapter in Social Justice”
Concluding his address, the chief minister said that the Women’s Rights Grant is a new milestone in tamil Nadu’s long-standing journey of social justice.
It symbolizes the government’s trust in women — not as dependents, but as drivers of growth and transformation.
“This is not just an economic scheme; it’s a movement for equality,” stalin said.
“The Women’s Rights Grant will be the next big leap in tamil Nadu’s story of progress.”
💬 Bottom Line
With the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam, tamil Nadu has reaffirmed its position as a leader in inclusive governance.
By recognizing women as equal partners in progress, chief minister M.K. Stalin’s government is reshaping the social and economic landscape of the state — one household at a time.
