Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin launched the transformative Ennum Ezhuthum mission at an event held in Azhinjivakkam, Tiruvallur district. The statewide mission establishes an definitive goal to ensure that all children under eight years of age in Tamil Nadu achieve foundational reading, writing, and arithmetic skills by 2025. Stalin explained that the program was specifically conceptualized to bridge severe learning deficits caused by prolonged school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Chief Minister stressed that early childhood education must transition from rote memorization into an joyful, interactive, and stimulating activity.

Stalin noted that comprehensive teacher training programs were executed statewide to equip elementary school educators with modern child-centric teaching methodologies.

Stalin affirmed that foundational literacy serves as the primary stepping stone for all future academic and cognitive advancement. He reiterated that his administration is dedicated to safeguarding every child's fundamental right to quality education. The Chief Minister urged teachers, parents, and local communities to collaborate closely to ensure the complete success of the mission across every village.
