Under 'Anbu Karangal', children who lost their parents receive ₹2,000 a month to keep studying until 18, and 'Anbu Cholai' day-care centres for senior citizens run at 25 places. The Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies Acts were amended to nominate differently abled persons to local bodies. Tamil Nadu leads India with a 47% higher education enrolment rate, nearly twice the national average. For the first time in India, meals are being provided to 1,29,689 sanitation workers. The Kalaignar Kanavu Illam scheme targets 8 lakh concrete houses by 2030 to make the State hut-free.
