Tamil Nadu CM @mkstalin has created a unique template called the #DravidianModel by blending growth with compassion and social justice.

- When a girl child is born, the state makes a fixed deposit of Rs 50,000 for her, which she can withdraw when 18. In case the family has two girl children, each gets Rs 25,000. She gets immunisation and hospital treatment free of cost.
- She goes to the school on a government-provided bicycle. Sometimes she travels by the government bus and doesn’t need to buy a ticket.
Free bus travel for women helps them save money and travel safe
The money saved goes into savings or meeting additional expenses.

- She gets free books, school bags and also a mid-day meal. After passing Class X, she will get a handsome amount from the state, so her parents don’t ask her to stop going to school.
- After school, she can go to a nearby college where education is again free. Her mother doesn’t ask her to spend time in the kitchen because they have a mixer grinder given by the state, which saves them time.
- If she is studying in a government school and secures admission to the IITs, the state takes care of the tuition fee.
If she belongs to an SC/ST/OBC community and secures admission to a foreign university, she may get a government scholarship for educational expenses.

With these capacities provided to girls, Tamil Nadu achieves one of the best human development indices in India and a total fertility rate lower than the replacement level.
Tamil Nadu has the highest number of working women in India. At 7.08 lakh, the state is home to nearly half of India's 15.93 lakh working women. These women are also empowered consumers and contribute to GDP and wealth creation.
16,968 women students from Tamil Nadu have enrolled for PhD out of 95,086 women students across India.
In a move to encourage more girls to pursue and complete higher education without financial constraints, the Tamil Nadu government deposits of Rs 1,000 in the bank accounts of girl students. Six lakh girls can benefit from this move. @ptrmadurai
All girls from classes 6 to 12 in government schools are getting Rs 1,000 till the uninterrupted completion of their undergraduate degree, diploma and ITI courses. The students are eligible for this scheme in addition to other scholarships.
Tamil Nadu is not compromising on growth. Tamil Nadu is India's second-largest economy despite being its sixth most populous state and among the country's 12 largest states. Thanks to #DravidianModel
