Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin paid high tribute to veteran journalist A.S. Panneerselvan and noted development economist Professor J. Jeyaranjan, describing them as invaluable intellectual gifts bestowed upon the Dravidian movement. Speaking at the formal release of their newly translated Tamil volumes in Chennai, Stalin highlighted how both thinkers have systematically articulated the rationale, achievements, and structural transformations spearheaded by the Dravidian ideological movement.

Stalin pointed out that A.S. Panneerselvan's biographical work on former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi offers a masterclass in political journalism, capturing the nuances of regional federalism, linguistic mobilization, and democratic statecraft. Simultaneously, Professor Jeyaranjan, heading the State Planning Commission, has provided empirical economic grounding to the 'Dravidian Model', illustrating through rigorous data how targeted welfare investments and affirmative action drive sustained industrial growth and social mobility.

The Chief Minister emphasized that the Dravidian movement is fundamentally an intellectual and rationalist renaissance. Stalin affirmed that celebrating these scholars and dedicated researchers strengthens progressive democratic policy formulation across the state, ensuring that Tamil Nadu's welfare governance remains firmly anchored in academic rigor, progressive economics, and unwavering social justice principles.
