On behalf of the people of Tamil Nadu, I have again conveyed our unanimous plea to Honble President @rashtrapatibhvn, Tmt Droupadi Murmu, for justice to our students in the NEET issue.
Under our continued quest for equity, let's unite for the lakhs of our deserving students, who are anxiously awaiting the Presidential assent to the #NEET Exemption Bill. Their hopes and aspirations rest on this decision, which should brook no further delay.
Doing away with NEET is the collective will of the people of Tamil Nadu. We will see to it that it is done!
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin conveyed a formal, unanimous appeal on behalf of the citizens of Tamil Nadu to President Droupadi Murmu, seeking immediate presidential assent for the Tamil Nadu Undergraduate Medical Degree Courses Bill, which exempts the state from the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Stalin emphasized that lakhs of deserving students and distressed families are anxiously awaiting the constitutional resolution of this long-pending legislative measure.
The Chief Minister articulated that NEET disproportionately disadvantages rural students, government school pupils, and marginalized socio-economic communities who lack the financial means to afford expensive private commercial coaching academies. He reminded the President that the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly had unanimously passed the exemption bill twice, reflecting the collective democratic will and constitutional prerogative of the state to determine medical admission criteria based on school qualifying examinations.
Stalin asserted that doing away with NEET is central to Tamil Nadu's enduring quest for equitable social justice and accessible healthcare. He urged the President to respect the state assembly's constitutional mandate without further delay, assuring that his government will remain steadfast until justice is secured for Tamil Nadu's aspiring medical students.
