Dissatisfied with the drop in the number of Tamil Nadu candidates entering the country’s public services, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin stated on Monday that something had to change and urged students to reverse the trend.

“The rate of selection of students from Tamil Nadu in the civil services exam is declining. While it was over 10% in 2016, it has come down to 5%. This is disappointing. This has to change. We have to change this,” Mr. Stalin said.

Mr. Stalin stated at a gathering to commemorate the completion of one year of the ‘Naan Mudhalvan’ plan, whereby the Tamil Nadu government provides financial aid of 7,500 per month for ten months to 1,000 civil service aspirants. Those candidates who pass the preliminary tests will receive a 25,000 stipend.

The State government was offering training for candidates appearing in exams conducted by banks, Railway, and Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), and it was training about 5,000 candidates in all districts, he said. “Candidates from all sections of society must come to all jobs. They should get into authority. The Dravidian Model’s objective is to ensure social justice,” Mr. Stalin said.

During the first year of the flagship ‘Naan Mudhalvan’ scheme, around 13 lakh students received skill development training, he said. Mr. Stalin stated that 65,034 of the 85,053 engineering graduates from 445 colleges who got training under the scheme have obtained employment offers. According to him, 83,223 of the 99,230 graduates from the scheme’s 861 arts and scientific colleges have found work.
