Tamil Nadu’s per capita income has skyrocketed to Rs 1,96,309, surpassing the national average of Rs 1,14,000, Chief Minister M K Stalin announced, crediting the Dravidian Model. This marks a significant leap from Rs 1,43,000 in 2020-21 under the AIADMK regime, reflecting an 8.15% average growth rate over the past four years, nearly double the 4.42% growth from 2016-17 to 2020-21.

Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu highlighted that Tamil Nadu’s 83.3% growth rate over the last decade outstrips the national average of 57%. “This is a testament to our visionary policies, industrial progress, and welfare schemes,” he said, emphasizing the state’s second-place ranking among Indian states for per capita income.

Stalin, sharing Thennarasu’s post on X, declared, “We’ve outdone the national average and doubled the AIADMK’s growth!” He expressed confidence in Tamil Nadu leading the charge under “Dravidian Model 2.0.” Thennarasu added that the state’s focus on industry, education, infrastructure, and social welfare has set a national benchmark.
