Late DMK president M Karunanidhi’s efforts gave birth to self-help-groups for women in the State. Only when women enjoyed economic independence, the family and the community as a whole would witness overall growth. Likewise, Chief Minister M. K. Stalin was also keen to encourage women to ensure that their wards, especially girls, were equipped with knowledge.
The government, they said, would support every initiative that promoted education for women and children. They also appreciated all citizens in Rajapalayam Municipality who had given a new meaning to the premises.
