Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin delivered the keynote address at the state-level expansion event of the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam, live-streamed across all district headquarters and revenue taluks. During the ceremony, Stalin personally distributed automated teller machine debit cards and formal entitlement sanction orders to newly enrolled women beneficiaries whose appeals were approved after comprehensive district-level administrative re-evaluations.

In his address, Stalin emphasized that granting financial independence to women is the most effective method for dismantling generational poverty and structural gender disadvantages. He explained that the seamless digital execution of this mammoth entitlement scheme—which now covers over 1.13 crore women heads of households statewide—showcases Tamil Nadu’s unmatched capacity in administrative efficiency, public finance management, and inclusive governance.

The Chief Minister remarked that feedback from beneficiaries demonstrates how the monthly grant helps women pay for essential medicines, support children's schooling, and establish small domestic enterprises without relying on high-interest local moneylenders. Stalin reaffirmed that the progressive Dravidian Model governance stands unshakeably beside the women of Tamil Nadu, continually expanding social security programs that secure enduring dignity, personal autonomy, and family prosperity.
