Health screening scheme launched under TN CM Stalin's name despite court order pending clarification
CHENNAI: Although the modification petition moved by the Tamil Nadu government seeking clarification on the Madras High Court's interim order restraining the use of names of any living personalities in government schemes will be heard only on Monday, Chief Minister M K Stalin on Saturday launched the 'Nalam Kaakum Stalin' scheme, as planned. The CM inaugurated the scheme, under which health camps will be organised across the state with a comprehensive list of diagnostic tests and consultations with specialist doctors available to the public, at St Bede's Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School in Santhome. A total of 1,256 camps are planned across the state. The first phase of the camps was conducted in various places across all districts on Saturday. The tests available at the camps included blood profile, ECG, echocardiogram, and ultrasound. Speaking at the event, the Chief Minister urged the people to make use of the camps, which will be conducted every Saturday. He said the government's aim is to ensure that medical services accessible to the affluent are also available to the poor and needy in both urban and rural areas. He stated that such camps are organised to provide medical care to those who are unable to visit hospitals.

CM Stalin to launch 'Nalam Kaakkum Stalin' today
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will launch the state's flagship health screening initiative, Nalam Kaakkum Stalin, on Saturday from St Bede's Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School in Chennai. The programme, aimed at early detection and treatment of non-communicable diseases, will be rolled out across Tamil Nadu through 1,256 speciality health camps. The initiative targets people over 40 years of age, particularly those with diabetes, hypertension, heart ailments, mental health conditions, as well as pregnant women, nursing mothers, persons with disabilities, and marginalised and tribal communities. Each camp will provide free consultations by specialists from 15 medical departments, including cardiology, neurology, ophthalmology, ENT, dermatology, and AYUSH systems. On-site diagnostic services such as ECG, ECHO, ultrasound, X-rays, and blood tests will also be offered. Test results will be shared with patients via WhatsApp, and the camps will be conducted on all working Saturdays in schools or colleges, said Additional Chief Secretary J. Radhakrishnan. Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu government on Friday filed a petition in the Madras High Court seeking modification of an interim order that restrained the state from launching welfare schemes in the name of living political personalities. The state urged the court to clarify that the order should not apply to the 'Nalam Kaakkum Stalin' scheme, as it is being launched in the name of the Chief Minister, a constitutional authority, and not a political figure in the conventional sense. The first bench, headed by Chief Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava, had orally observed that the launch could proceed following a mention by Advocate General P.S. Raman. However, the government opted to file a formal plea, which is expected to be heard on Monday. In its submission, the state noted that extensive preparations had been made for the scheme, including the printing and distribution of pamphlets, brochures, and application forms. It also stated that 800 hospitals had been linked to the programme to manage patient footfall. "If the court's order is enforced immediately, the entire scheme will have to be put on hold, resulting in weeks of delay and waste of resources," the plea stated. The case stems from a petition filed by former AIADMK law minister C. Ve. Shanmugam, who alleged that the scheme violates guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court and the Election Commission.

The school boasts a rich legacy of over 300 years. Even today, gaining admission is highly competitive, with countless students eagerly hoping for a chance to study here. During British rule in India, the East India Company set up the country's first English-medium school in Madras (now Chennai) for the children of its employees.

The campus covers about 21 acres of land. The whole building is made of red bricks, giving it a unique red look that impresses everyone. The school still offers classes from nursery to Class 12. According to media reports, one unique aspect of this school in its early years was that Indian children were not allowed to study there. Admission was granted only to British children, along with the children of East India Company employees. St. George's Anglo-Indian Higher Secondary School in Chennai is known as one of the best schools in the city. Its fees are lower compared to many other schools. The school has a hockey team, and some players have played for the national team. The library here is special too, as it still has books from the 18th century.
