As many as 200 participants from across the country were present at the event.



While addressing the audience, the Minister stated that Tamil Nadu is known for its hospitality and the native scriptures teach the same. "Assume this is your home and learn the language, culture, tradition, and political scenarios of this state. Every community pertains to different particles where each of them are known by their best practices which must be shared and discussed."



He noted that under the leadership of CM M.K Stalin, Tamil Nadu is keen to avoid social exclusion and promote an Inclusive approach by all means. He advised the students to focus on three aspects as Attitude, Talents/ Skills and Knowledge for a successive outcome.

"Digital literacy is necessary, innovation and entrepreneurship should be inculcated within every individual for self-development and to create more opportunities," he added.

Following this, the District Commissioner of Police prompted them to make advantage of such programs to improvise the Standard of living. "Alienation is the biggest problem to be addressed which is met by these programs. The feeling of inclusiveness is important for the progress of the nation. I suggest you people join uniform services which provide more opportunities. Most significantly it gives the feeling of being part of the country."
