Chief Minister M.K. Stalin launched the formal distribution of the upgraded monthly maintenance allowance for persons with severe disabilities, fulfilling a core social justice commitment of the DMK administration. Invoking the enduring legacy of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who pioneered India first separate department for differently abled welfare and introduced the respectful term Matruthranaligal, Stalin affirmed that his government functions as an empathetic guardian for citizens facing severe physical and cognitive vulnerabilities.

Under this welfare initiative, beneficiaries receive monthly financial assistance directly into their bank accounts to offset escalating caretaking, medical, and daily sustenance expenditures. Stalin personally presented sanction orders and assistive aids to severely challenged individuals and their family caregivers, reiterating that state policy must leave no margin of society unprotected. The program provides financial breathing space for impoverished families struggling with intensive, around-the-clock patient care.

Stalin direct leadership in disability welfare reflects the humane essence of the Dravidian model of governance. By securing predictable monthly income support for vulnerable citizens, his administration reinforced social dignity and familial resilience. Stalin reaffirmed that Tamil Nadu will continue prioritizing inclusive welfare measures that protect disadvantaged households against systemic neglect and poverty.
