Tamil Nadu's First Month Under CM Vijay — 21-Day Governance Scorecard: What Was Delivered

As Tamil Nadu marks 21 days of CM Vijay's governance (May 10–31), here is a verified scorecard of key milestones delivered.

Soon after taking oath, CM Vijay signed the first set of government orders linked to major election promises: expanding free electricity to 200 units, launching the Singa Pen Sirappu Athiradi Padai (all-women security force), and setting up anti-drug task forces across all districts.

Key deliveries in 21 days: Rs 1,000 Women's Scheme credited (May 15); 2% DA hike for 16 lakh government employees; 717 TASMAC shop closures ordered; 200-unit free electricity scheme activated; anti-drug task forces in all 38 districts; Singa Pen Sirappu Athiradi Padai launched; 9 new textbooks for Classes 1–3; SSLC results declared (94.31% pass); Amma Canteen revamp ordered; Delhi visit — PM Modi and Nirmala Sitharaman met; Thiruvalluvar statue at JNU inaugurated; 35-member full coalition cabinet formed; Congress, VCK and IUML inducted in cabinet; CBSE three-language policy firmly rejected; Kamal Haasan's film industry demands accepted including 5 shows per day.

Political analysts note that the pace of implementation in the first 21 days is notably faster than any recent Tamil Nadu government's first month.
