According to a recently released ranking by the Union Government, Tamil Nadu has secured the top position in economic growth among all Indian states. In the last financial year, while the national average per capita income stood at ₹1.14 lakh, Tamil Nadu’s average per capita income was ₹1.96 lakh.Over the past ten years, India’s national per capita income grew by 57%, whereas Tamil Nadu recorded an impressive growth of 83.3%. Behind these achievements lies the significant contribution of the Dravidian Model and the long-term planning of the DMK government.In terms of per capita income growth, Tamil Nadu has advanced several times more than the national average. While the state recorded only 4.42% growth during the previous AIADMK administrations, under the current DMK rule, the state has achieved a remarkable 9.22% growth.This progress is not limited to per capita income alone. Tamil Nadu’s development across all sectors—such as education, industry, healthcare, and social welfare—has far outpaced that of other Indian states. This success is attributed to a combination of political awareness, investment in education and industrial development, and the integration of social justice policies.If Tamil Nadu continues on this trajectory, it is poised to rise to a level where it can compete with neighboring countries.
