Today, 5th September 2022, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu Mr. M.K. Stalin grabbed the attention of many when he launched the `Pudumai Penn` scheme.
According to this superb scheme, an amount of Rs 1000 would be given to each girl student who has completed her education in the government school and has opted for higher studies.
The launch event saw the chief minister of Delhi Mr. Arvind Kejriwal making his presence felt in the above said college.
According to the chief minister of TN it was very clear that this Pudhumai Penn scheme would accelerate the educational growth in TN, would increase the number of educated persons, would increase the overall wisdom plus it would increase the gender parity, reduce girl child marriages, would provide authority to women, would make them independent and provide self respect to them etc.
It must be remembered that the DMK government has renamed the already existing ` Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Higher Education Assurance Scheme as Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar Higher Education assurance scheme. It is noteworthy that under this scheme all girl students who have studied from 6th class till 12th class in the government schools and who opted for higher education would be given Rs 1000.
