CM Stalin urges public support for ‘no school dropout' milestone
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday praised the Tamil Nadu School Education Department and the teachers' community for playing a pivotal role in ensuring zero school dropouts across the state over the last four years.
In a social media post, the Chief Minister described this achievement as a significant milestone in the state's educational journey and urged the public to join hands with the government to sustain this success.
CM Stalin called on the public to proactively identify any children who may have dropped out of school in their localities. 'Educate them and make them understand that there is no greater wealth than education,' he said.
Emphasising the importance of collective responsibility, he encouraged people to spread awareness about the state's inclusive educational schemes designed to bring every child back to school.
The Chief Minister highlighted several key initiatives by the state government aimed at enhancing access to quality education. These include the Breakfast Scheme for school students, the introduction of Smart Classrooms, the Naan Mudhalvan skill development programme, and financial assistance schemes like Pudhumai Penn for girl students and Thamizh Pudhalvan for boys.
'These programmes ensure that no child is left behind and every student is supported to complete their education,' CM Stalin noted.
In a separate post, the Chief Minister reaffirmed the government's commitment to women's welfare, particularly those serving in the police force.
He recalled his earlier promise that women police personnel returning from maternity leave would be granted transfers to their preferred locations to help balance family and work responsibilities.
As of June 3, a total of 209 women police officers have been transferred to locations of their choice, the CM said.
'The Dravidian Model government will continue to safeguard the interests and well-being of women who want to make a mark in life and succeed in their chosen fields,' he reiterated.
With education and women's empowerment as central pillars of his Dravidian governance model, the Chief Minister has underlined the government's efforts to lead the way in inclusive growth and social equity.

CM should release white paper on funds received for Union government schemes, says C.P. Radhakrishnan
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin should release a white paper on funds received for Union government schemes, said Maharashtra Governor and former BJP leader C.P. Radhakrishnan on Sunday. Mr. Radhakrishnan, who participated in the State conference of Sahakar Bhati Tamil Nadu at Maravaneri in Salem, told journalists there should be no partiality in welfare schemes, whether they are State or Union Government schemes, and people should benefit from these schemes. If Mr. Stalin felt Union government funds were not adequate for Union government schemes, he should release a white paper report and point out how these schemes benefited the people, and then say how Tamil Nadu is affected without adequate funds. It will pave the way for getting funds from the Union Government easily, Mr. Radhakrishnan added. Responding to a question on the stalemate over appointing vice-chancellors of state universities in Tamil Nadu, Mr. Radhakrishnan said, 'In my opinion, appointing vice-chancellors should be under the power of Governors . The government in Tamil Nadu uses the word 'Union Government' instead of 'Central Government,' which is a primary issue in the conflict between the Governor and the Tamil Nadu government. These terms were not used when M. Karunanidhi was Chief Minister. If the Central Government is the Union Government, then the State Government will be the Panchayat Government.' Stating that cooperative societies should be a people's movement, the former BJP leader felt cooperative societies in Tamil Nadu were successful earlier. But now many societies sustain losses allegedly due to corruption. Instead of politicians coming to the post in societies, farmers and weavers should take it over, Mr. Radhakrishnan added.
