**Tamil Nadu CM Stalin Launches ‘Ungaludan Stalin’ Initiative, Pledges Further Social Justice Reforms**

**Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu – July 15, 2025** – Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin today launched the state-wide “Ungaludan Stalin” (Stalin with you) initiative in Chidambaram, Cuddalore district, reaffirming his commitment to the “Dravidian model of government” and its focus on social justice, particularly for Adi-Dravidars and Scheduled Tribes.

Speaking after inaugurating a memorial hall and statue of former TNCC president L. Elayaperumal, a prominent leader from the Scheduled Caste community, Stalin emphasized that existing schemes are not enough to achieve true equality. He highlighted the government’s efforts to remove symbols of oppression, including eliminating the term “colony” from official records when referring to SC habitations and renaming hostels to “Social justice hostels” in order to further promote the effort to make a change towards equality.

“The journey to social liberation is a long one and will take time. But everything will change and Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin will make the change to reach the goals with the path shown by Elayaperumal,” Stalin stated.

Stalin also announced a unified political front against what he termed “saffron power in Delhi,” bringing together parties and leaders championing the principles of Dr. Ambedkar, Karl Marx, and Mahatma Gandhi.

The “Ungaludan Stalin” initiative will see 10,000 special camps organized across the state, both in rural and urban areas. These camps will provide access to 46 services from various government departments, including medical services. Trained volunteers will visit households to inform residents about the camps, eligibility criteria for services, and required documents. The camps will also offer a platform for women who have been left out of the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme to submit their applications.

In addition to the initiative, Chief Minister Stalin announced the establishment of a non-leather footwear manufacturing unit in Kodukkanpalayam, Cuddalore district, with an investment of ₹75 crore. The unit is expected to create employment for approximately 12,000 women in the district.

Several ministers and political leaders, including Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi president and Chidambaram MP Thol. Thirumavalavan, attended the launch event.
