Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin administered the official 'Samathuva Naal' (Equality Day) pledge during a live ceremony at the Fort St. George Secretariat in Chennai, commemorating the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Flanked by cabinet colleagues, senior civil servants, and department heads, Stalin led the solemn affirmation committing the state administration to the principles of equality, secularism, brotherhood, and social justice. The pledge was simultaneously recited across government offices, district collectorates, and educational institutions throughout Tamil Nadu.

The annual observance of Equality Day reflects a landmark policy decision announced by Stalin in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly in 2022. By dedicating Ambedkar's birth anniversary as Equality Day, the state established an enduring administrative ritual reminding public servants of their constitutional duty to dismantle systemic caste barriers, protect vulnerable sections, and ensure equitable access to government resources and public services.

Stalin underscored that true governmental efficiency is measured by how effectively public programs improve the lives of oppressed communities. He urged administrators to translate Ambedkar's constitutional values into everyday executive decisions, maintaining absolute fairness, empathy, professional integrity, and devotion to public service.
