வாழ்வில் ஓர் பொன்னாள், இந்நாள்! தமிழ்நாட்டிலுள்ள அனைத்து மாநகராட்சி, நகராட்சி, பேரூராட்சி, ஊராட்சி ஒன்றியங்கள் மற்றும் கிராம ஊராட்சிகளிலும்...

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin tabled historic legislation in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly to mandate representation for persons with disabilities across all local governance bodies. The proposed statutory reform ensures that over 12,000 disabled citizens will secure formal positions in city municipal corporations, municipalities, town panchayats, panchayat unions, and village panchayats throughout Tamil Nadu. Stalin characterized the day as a golden milestone in the state's ongoing march toward inclusive democratic empowerment.

Stalin explained that grassroots democracy cannot claim complete legitimacy when marginalized groups remain excluded from civic decision-making forums. By institutionalizing disability representation, the bill guarantees that urban planning, civic infrastructure, and local welfare delivery will directly reflect the lived experiences of persons with disabilities. The Chief Minister cited this progressive measure as a defining demonstration of the Dravidian Model's core philosophy of equal space for all citizens.

The Chief Minister emphasized that granting political voice to marginalized persons strengthens democratic accountability and public empathy. He expressed immense pride in spearheading this pioneering legislative reform, affirming that Tamil Nadu continues to set progressive governance benchmarks for the entire country.
