To the graduates, your journey of learning has just begun. I urge you to embrace continuous learning, excel in your respective fields, and contribute wholeheartedly to nation-building. The future belongs to you!
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin attended the 165th Convocation of the University of Madras in Chennai, sharing the dais with President of India Droupadi Murmu as the guest of honour. Stalin congratulated the new graduates and expressed heartfelt gratitude to the President for recognizing the historic institution as a radiant beacon of gender equality. He highlighted that women constitute a commanding majority among degree recipients, demonstrating the tangible impact of progressive state social justice reforms.
Stalin noted that high female enrollment in collegiate programs validates the Dravidian Model administration's focused welfare initiatives, including the Pudhumai Penn scheme and free bus travel for women. These initiatives have eliminated systemic economic barriers, encouraging families from modest backgrounds to support higher education for young women. Stalin urged the graduating cohort to embrace lifelong learning, excel in specialized disciplines, and contribute their expertise toward collective nation-building.
The Chief Minister affirmed that the future belongs to youth who combine technical mastery with progressive social consciousness and public empathy. He reiterated Tamil Nadu's unwavering commitment to expanding research funding, collegiate infrastructure, and equal educational access for all communities across the state.
