Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin shared a visionary quotation from social reformer Thanthai Periyar's seminal work, Ini Varum Ulagam, emphasizing the vital role of scientific inquiry and intellectual curiosity in human progress. Periyar observed that modern inventions and societal advancements worldwide occurred because enlightened nations rejected blind adherence to archaic traditions, choosing instead to pursue rational investigation, technological innovation, and objective truth.

Stalin highlighted that Periyar's rationalist philosophy remains remarkably relevant in guiding contemporary policymaking and social reform. The Chief Minister pointed out that true societal advancement requires shedding outdated orthodoxies and fostering an environment where young minds are encouraged to question, experiment, and innovate without fear of conventional social criticism.

The Chief Minister affirmed that the Dravidian Model governance framework draws direct inspiration from Periyar's progressive ideals by prioritizing modern education, research institutions, and technological modernization. Stalin stated that Tamil Nadu's economic resilience and social harmony stem from its historic refusal to remain trapped in conservative dogma. He urged citizens to nurture unbiased critical thinking, scientific literacy, and humanistic values, ensuring that the state continues leading India in progressive transformation and intellectual enlightenment.
