Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced a landmark policy decision to empower differently abled citizens by providing reserved representation for them in urban and rural local governance bodies through a structured nomination mechanism.

Stalin reaffirmed that the Dravidian Model administration will continue enacting inclusive social welfare policies that dismantle structural barriers facing marginalized populations. He emphasized that equal citizenship requires proactive representation, concluding that Tamil Nadu will remain at the forefront of protecting disability rights and social inclusion.
