“Pudhumai Penn Scheme”: Making Education Possible for Girls

Chief Minister Stalin’s “Pudhumai Penn Scheme” has successfully benefited over 156,000 girl students and will benefit another 104,347 girls in the next five months.

Latha Maheshwari, whose father is a daily wage Mason, and Kavitha, who lost her father but wanted to make his dream come true by pursuing higher education.
