A court sentence ends on paper. For many Tamil Nadu families, it begins there.

Telangana funds inmates’ families through prison earnings.

Can a similar prison reform model in TN also protect children outside prison walls?

Tourism in Kodaikanal and other hill stations in Tamil Nadu is choking the fragile ecosystem of the hill station; tourist inflow should be regulated properly, and the pollution control measures should be done on a war footing.

There will always be contentment while doing stories on the Chithirai Festival. This year I came up with the idea of this 'Varnipaalargal,' a lesser-known tradition to the Maduraiites.

Thanks to @sevarkodi94 Senthil for the story idea.

Central #TamilNadu covering both banks of Cauvery river, a fertile and spiritual region accounting for 38% of paddy production area and over 30% of total temples in the state has always been decisive in catapulting a party to power. In the past three assembly elections, the alliance that won most seats in the #delta region ruled the state, a credential that only the Central TN has.

Watch | Can Rs 50 change your life? How this Tamil Nadu model can be a new model for the young India.

In India, millions chase the same dream — a govt medical seat, a govt job, a better life.

In Kolathur, at chief minister @mkstalin’s constituency, the chief minister’s co-working and co-learning centre is quietly helping level that playing field.

For Rs 50 (half day) and Rs 100 (full day), youngsters preparing for NEET, JEE and UPSC get access to air-conditioned study space, Wi-Fi, desks, newspapers and civil service books. Monthly packages cost Rs 2,500 — far lower than many private centres.

Startups and professionals use the same space too — 40 co-working seats, conference rooms and shared networking. Students travel up to 20 km to study here. Some say the quiet helps them focus. Others say the peer network sharpens their preparation.

This TN model can be a model for the entire country. @PMOIndia @narendramodi
