₹3,000 Crore Climate Budget & 50% Renewable Energy by 2030
Tamil Nadu's geography makes climate adaptation an urgent governance priority. A ₹3,000 crore annual Climate Budget — dedicated exclusively to climate resilience, renewable energy infrastructure, green corridors, and coastal protection — is the largest such commitment by any Indian state government. The Coastal Resilience Authority, operating under the Chief Secretary's office, manages mangrove restoration, erosion control, and saline-water intrusion defence across all 13 coastal districts. Tamil Nadu, which already leads India in wind energy capacity, accelerates its renewable energy push with a target to power 50% of state electricity from solar and wind sources by 2030.
Regularisation of Contract Workers in Essential Public Services
The regularisation of contract workers in essential public services is a long-overdue act of justice. All temporary teachers, nurses, sanitation workers, and staff who have served continuously for 5 or more years receive immediate permanent employment status — with all attendant service protections, pension entitlements, and incremental pay progression. The exploitation of essential service workers on perpetual contract arrangements, with no job security and no service benefits, ends with this mandate. A ₹15 lakh superannuation benefit is guaranteed on retirement for regularised workers.
Police Welfare Act — Pay, Rest, and Hospitals
Police welfare reforms address the working conditions of the force that makes every other guarantee implementable. The Police Welfare Act mandates a weekly rotational rest day for all police personnel, a minimum basic pay of ₹25,000 per month, and dedicated Police Welfare Hospitals in every commissionerate — covering officers and their families. A motivated, professionally stable police force is not a luxury; it is a prerequisite for the rule of law, and TVK treats it as such.
Old Pension Scheme, Anganwadi Pay & Disabled Persons Pension
The Old Pension Scheme is re-implemented for all state government employees through a phased financial transition that manages the actuarial liability responsibly while restoring the retirement security that was stripped away when OPS was discontinued. Malnourished children and elderly persons — served by Anganwadi workers and Noon-meal scheme staff respectively — benefit from a salary increase to ₹18,000 per month for both categories of frontline workers. Monthly pension for differently-abled persons is raised to ₹3,000 with a complementary Home-Care medical delivery service, so physical inability to visit a clinic is never a barrier to healthcare.
Housing for Every Family
Housing for every family is the final pillar of a future-ready Tamil Nadu: a state where no citizen sleeps in a structure that is structurally unsafe, floods seasonally, or has no attached toilet. District-wise housing surveys identify the outstanding deficit; construction targets are set with public accountability dashboards. A Tamil Nadu that is climatically resilient, publicly employed, adequately policed, pension-secured, and universally housed is not a utopia — it is the baseline of a functioning state, and these are the programmes that build it.
