At the prestigious Global Women Summit in Chennai, Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin made a resounding case for women’s centrality in sustainable growth on Tuesday.
The DMK leader vowed sustained investments in infrastructure and social pillars to propel the state to a trillion-dollar status. Women’s contributions, he said, are irreplaceable in this journey.
Inclusive prosperity requires prioritizing women, Stalin emphasized. “Leadership from women is essential; no nation thrives excluding its women,” he proclaimed.
He advocated breaking barriers in education, employment, and startups. The highly successful Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam exemplifies commitment, channeling Rs 1,000 monthly to 1.3 crore women household leads.
Tamil Nadu’s top ranking in female labor participation draws investor focus on women-centric jobs, a trend Stalin celebrated alongside private sector quotas.
Rooted in Dravidian ethos, Periyar championed women’s rights, a flame carried by Karunanidhi via inheritance equality, police enlistment, and panchayat reservations.
Stalin’s insights at the summit illuminate a blueprint where empowered women fuel economic engines. Tamil Nadu’s model offers lessons in blending welfare, opportunity, and heritage for holistic advancement.
