Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin addressed party cadres and citizens through a special communication announcing the convening of statewide Grama Sabha meetings on May 1 to coincide with International Workers Day. Stalin emphasized that under the Dravidian model administration, village assemblies will not be treated as perfunctory bureaucratic formalities, but will function as vibrant, empowered democratic platforms where rural residents directly participate in local governance decisions.

The Chief Minister highlighted the state government policy decision to increase the number of mandatory annual Grama Sabha meetings from four to six, ensuring continuous public oversight of village administration. He stated that these sessions provide an invaluable forum for villagers to audit local expenditure, prioritize drinking water and sanitation works, and review rural employment implementation across every village panchayat.

Stalin called upon rural residents, panchayat presidents, and ward members to actively attend the assemblies and deliberate openly on local development priorities. He declared that true democracy flourishes only when administrative power is decentralized to the village level, expressing confidence that empowered panchayats will drive sustainable rural progress throughout Tamil Nadu in coming years.
