CHENNAI: All eligible women, who may have been left out of the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai (KMUT) scheme, would be included as beneficiaries, Chief Minister MK Stalin assured on Sunday.
"I wish to place on record my confidence and commitment that KMUT will certainly be extended to every deserving beneficiary," he said while addressing a gathering at the wedding ceremony at Pappireddipatti in Dharmapuri district.
Speaking at the event, Stalin said the flagship women-centric scheme of the Dravidian model government had already emerged as a cornerstone of social security. Under the scheme, Rs 1,000 is being transferred every month to women heads of families, offering economic stability and dignity. With the recent inclusion of an additional 17 lakh women, the total number of beneficiaries has now risen to more than 1.30 crore across Tamil Nadu, he said.
The government viewed the KMUT scheme not merely as a welfare initiative, but as a structural intervention to strengthen women's role within households and society, Stalin said, reiterating that the scheme's reach would continue to expand and that no eligible woman should feel excluded.
Highlighting the State's broader governance record, the Chief Minister noted that Tamil Nadu had recently emerged as the number one State in GDP growth, as per the recent assessment by the Reserve Bank of India. Despite economic disruptions and multiple challenges, the Dravidian model government had delivered consistent results through inclusive policies, he said.
The DMK president also stressed the importance of election preparedness and organisational discipline to ensure that the party returned to power in the 2026 Assembly polls.
Continued development of the State and ensuring social justice in the society depended on the party’s government securing another decisive mandate, Stalin said, and cautioned functionaries against complacency. The cadre should remain fully energised until polling day, he said.
The party cadres were actively engaged in voter-related exercises and groundwork, he noted, but cautioned that the task was only halfway complete. "Our achievements must reach every household and be converted into votes," he said, calling for sustained door-to-door outreach.
Ministers MRK Panneerselvam, MP Saminathan, R Sakkarapani, Ma Subramanian, R Rajendran and others also attended the event.
