MK Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, inaugurated Samathuvapuram (equality village) in Villupuram district on Tuesday, saying the Dravidian model will offer the road to equality.
Stalin said that the late Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader and his father, Kalaignar Karunanidhi, introduced the Samathuvapuram philosophy to achieve an equitable society.
According to Stalin, the Periyar equality village programme was made to resurrect a society riven by caste and religious divisions. People from various communities are accommodated together in newly developed residential zones with full utilities under the concept.
