MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, will introduce the “Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai Thittam” program for women on Friday. One of the key election promises made by the ruling DMK will be fulfilled with the launch of the program. The plan would also represent a complete fulfillment of the party’s promises to the populace, according to party officials. Women from low-income households will receive monthly financial assistance in the amount of Rs 1,000 under the welfare program.
CM Stalin, who is also the DMK president, will launch the scheme from Kancheepuram, the birthplace of the party’s icon and former chief minister CN Annadurai.
The launch of this welfare scheme has been timed to coincide with the birth anniversary of the late Dravidian icon.
The state minister for Sports and Youth Affairs, Udhayanidhi Stalin, who recently courted controversy with his remarks against ‘Sanatan Dharma’, will launch the scheme in Chennai.
Similar to this, different launch events in the state will be led by ministers Sekar Babu and Ma Subramanian, among others. According to a statement from the state government, this direct cash transfer program can benefit up to 1,605 crore women. The government will also give eligible women who feel left out time to sign up for the program. Through the e-Seva portal, they can submit a request to enlist. Their requests would be handled within 30 days, according to a government announcement. The targeted beneficiaries’ bank accounts will receive the promised amount directly.
