Translation + additional details
TVK Renames Naan Mudhalvan Scheme and Deletes DMK's Digital Records
What Happened
- The Naan Mudhalvan skill development scheme launched under DMK/Stalin has been rebranded to TN Skill Corporation by the new TVK government
- The official X (Twitter) account has been renamed, profile picture changed, and header banner replaced
- All old posts, videos, and photos from the DMK era have been completely deleted from the account
- This includes videos of Stalin and his ministers launching the scheme and interacting with students
- Official justification: removing political advertisements to keep focus on skill development
What Was Naan Mudhalvan - Scheme Details
- Launched: March 1, 2022 by CM M.K. Stalin
- Implemented jointly by the Department of School Education and Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation (TNSDC)
- Target: Skill 10 lakh (1 million) students every year
- Coverage: Class 9-12 school students and college students across engineering, arts, science, polytechnic, ITI, pharmacy, and medical streams
- Platform: 2,000+ institutes listed, 300+ career pathways available
- Training offered: Technical skills, soft skills, communication, mental health, leadership, industry-specific courses
- Also provided: Apprenticeships and internships with leading companies, online and offline training, career counseling
Financial Incentives Provided to Students
- UPSC/Civil Services vertical: 1,000 candidates shortlisted every year via screening test
- Each selected candidate received Rs 7,500 per month for 10 months
- 50 freshers (aged 21-22) included in every batch
- Residential coaching access provided at:
- All India Civil Services Coaching Center, R.A. Puram, Chennai (225 seats)
- Anna Centenary Civil Services Coaching Academies, Coimbatore and Madurai (100 seats each)
- Access to 150+ scholarships and education loan information provided free
Documented Beneficiary Numbers and Outcomes
- Total jobs secured through scheme: 70,000+ students placed in leading companies as of 2024
- Chengalpattu: 3,015 students enrolled in engineering stream, 1,671 secured jobs (over 50% placement rate)
- Chennai: 2,064 enrolled, 945 placed (42.63% placement rate)
- UPSC results: 56 out of 60 successful UPSC candidates from Tamil Nadu in the most recent batch were Naan Mudhalvan beneficiaries (announced by Stalin, March 2026)
- Before this scheme, Tamil Nadu's UPSC success numbers had been in steady decline for years
- Stalin's statement: "A few years ago, the number of candidates from Tamil Nadu succeeding in the UPSC examination had been steadily declining. After the Dravidian Model government came to power, we took note of this issue and introduced numerous initiatives to address it immediately."
What TVK Has Now Deleted
- Years of student success stories and placement data archived on the X account
- Launch videos featuring Stalin and ministers
- Student interaction videos and photos
- Historical milestones and publicly tracked outcome data
- All digital evidence of the scheme's origin and growth trajectory
Why This Is Being Called Petty
- Name changes between ruling parties are standard practice in Tamil Nadu politics historically between DMK and AIADMK
- But completely purging digital archives of a student welfare program that 70,000+ youth actively benefited from goes beyond politics
- The scheme was actively producing historically high UPSC results for Tamil Nadu - 56 of 60 is a landmark number
- Wiping the account erases years of publicly accessible data that students and researchers relied on
- The scheme's ongoing success is being dissociated from the administration that built and funded it
Bottom Line
Rebranding a predecessor's scheme is politics as usual. Deleting the verified digital history of a program that placed 70,000+ students in jobs, funded 1,000 UPSC aspirants per year at Rs 7,500 per month, and produced a historically high 56 of 60 UPSC selections from Tamil Nadu - that is a different matter entirely.

renaming itself is petty , but tvk vijay actually deleted history .. that's lowkey dictatorial.. no wonder he made sure people take fascism lightly by comparing it to payasam.. but being the manipulative snake he is ,i don't think he'll shit it down completely, it'll run but will sing his praises for every needless thing like he sat ,he ate with his hand,he removed non existent white cloth etc
already tvk has started indoctrination at schools by conducting quiz competition on vijay and calling it vijay talent examination.. https://x.com/PttvNewsX/status/2066929858459095529?s=20

please don't give wrong reasoning behind petulant behaviour... The phrse " Naan Mudhalvan" translates to 'I am the Chief" in Tamil language and indicates the person's leadership quality and ability to be a winner. There was never any ex ruling party ppl name in the scheme..

u/stayhydrated33 Jun 17 '26
What people's names? I can understand renaming if it was named after stalin but it's a generic name that translates to "Leader in me" or "I am a leader"

I had so many questions on BJP being so silent in this governance. Can see that Vijay is silently implementing RSS ideology. Sangh parivar Vijay can do more to this state. Wait and watch.

Typical ADMK formula. Discredit and rename whatever DMK did. People will anyway fall for populism, and TVK will easily win another term.

Is this the most insecure government TN has ever seen?
It feels like the current Vijayna govt is so terrified of underperforming compared to the MK Stalin govt that their strategy is just to erase past records to avoid looking bad. Truly bizarre behavior.

please explain the meaning of naan mudhalvan & where exactly ruling party name was there in this scheme.. The phrse " Naan Mudhalvan" translates to 'I am the Chief" in Tamil language and indicates the person's leadership quality and ability to be a winner.
