Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday inaugurated a new Agricultural College and Research Institute near Karaikudi in Sivaganga district, marking the beginning of a packed two-day visit during which projects worth Rs 2,872 crore are being inaugurated and dedicated to the public.

The Agricultural College and Research Institute has been constructed at Kanadukathan, near Karaikudi, at a cost of Rs 61.78 crore. The institution is expected to play a key role in strengthening agricultural education, research, and extension services in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu, particularly benefiting students from rural and agrarian backgrounds.

Along with the college, the Chief Minister also inaugurated the C. Subrahmaniam Multi-Purpose Hall located within the campus premises. The facility has been designed to host academic events, conferences, farmer training programmes, and community activities, thereby enhancing the overall utility of the institution.

As part of his visit to Karaikudi, Stalin also inaugurated the new Government Law College, aimed at expanding access to legal education in the region.

In another major boost to the local economy and employment generation, he formally opened the TIDEL Neo Park, which is expected to attract information technology and startup investments to the Sivaganga district and surrounding areas.

In addition to inaugurating infrastructure projects, the Chief Minister distributed various welfare assistance benefits to eligible beneficiaries on behalf of the State government, reiterating the administration's commitment to inclusive development and social security.

Earlier in the day, upon his arrival in Sivaganga district, Stalin was accorded a warm and enthusiastic reception by DMK functionaries, senior government officials, and members of the public. Supporters lined the roads to welcome the Chief Minister.

Officials said the initiatives launched during the visit are expected to significantly contribute to regional development, improve educational opportunities, create employment, and strengthen the economic base of the district.

Good to see investment in education and infrastructure in southern districts. The IT park (TIDEL Neo Park) is a smart move for job creation. But I hope the government ensures these projects are completed on time and maintained properly. We've seen many announcements that later get delayed.

As someone from a rural Tamil Nadu background, I know how important this is. An agriculture college near Karaikudi means students won't have to migrate to cities for quality education. The multi-purpose hall in the name of C. Subrahmaniam, the father of the Green Revolution, is a fitting tribute.

Nearly 2900 crores is a huge investment. Law college, agri college, IT park... this is holistic development. Hope the benefits reach the common people and not just remain on paper. The focus should be on quality of education and real, sustainable jobs.

Positive step! But alongside new colleges, the government must also improve existing schools and primary healthcare in these districts. Development should be balanced. Still, giving direct welfare assistance during the visit is a good touch for immediate relief.

Interesting to see the focus on both agriculture and technology in the same district. Blending traditional sectors with new-age IT could be a model for other states. The key will be creating linkages between the agri-college's research and the local farming economy.
