Stalin for his visionary move to integrate differently-abled persons into municipal corporations across the state. This decision highlights the government's dedication to creating a society that values diversity and equal opportunities.
Chief Minister Stalin's announcement to politically empower people with disabilities positions Tamil Nadu as a pioneer in inclusivity. Nominating differently-abled representatives to local bodies is a landmark decision, reflecting the aspirations of the disability community for greater participation and empowerment across the state.
Statistics from the 2011 Census indicate that approximately 1.6% of Tamil Nadu's population is differently-abled. By recognizing their potential, the government aims to harness this talent pool for societal development. Amar Seva Sangam lauds this initiative as a step towards dismantling long-standing stereotypes, fostering an inclusive society, and ensuring comprehensive implementation.
