Wilson for using his constituency development funds for educational and sports infrastructure, benefiting schools and colleges in his area. He highlighted several projects undertaken by Wilson, including a \u20b92.35 crore indoor stadium in Saidapet, \u20b92 crore for this college\u2019s infrastructure, \u20b95 crore for the Queen Mary\u2019s College auditorium, \u20b91.5 crore for a hostel in Tiruvottiyur, and \u20b93 crore for a community welfare centre in Villivakkam. The Deputy CM praised Wilson\u2019s focus on benefiting underprivileged students through such allocations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that over 262 students would receive degree certificates during the ongoing graduation ceremony and expressed joy at being part of an institution with a rich academic history. Since its establishment in 2016 with 16 courses, the college has grown to enrol over 1,300 students. The state government, under Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, has expanded facilities, including constructing a main block with 12 classrooms and two labs in 2021, and is currently undertaking an \u20b98 crore infrastructure development project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Udhayanidhi stressed that 75% of the college\u2019s students are first-generation learners, underlining the institution\u2019s social impact. He lauded the higher number of female students, noting that women\u2019s education benefits entire families and communities. He linked this progress to the Dravidian model of governance, which has positioned Tamil Nadu as the leader in India for higher education enrolment, with around 75% of students pursuing higher studies. The CM aims to raise this figure to 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deputy CM also mentioned government initiatives such as the <strong>Pudhumai Penn Scheme<\/strong>, which provides \u20b91,000 monthly to girl students from government schools pursuing higher education, and the <strong>Thamizh Pudhalvan Scheme<\/strong>, which grants \u20b91,000 monthly to boys from government schools entering higher education. Over 8 lakh students benefit from these schemes annually, with more than 1,200 girls and 500 boys from this college receiving support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further spoke about the <strong>Naan Mudhalvan Scheme<\/strong>, which offers skill training to 1,000 students from the college annually and has helped over 400 secure jobs in multinational companies. He urged students to excel both in academics and sports, noting the importance of physical fitness for mental and intellectual growth. He praised the college\u2019s sports achievements, including Ashok\u2019s gold medal at the National Boxing Championship and the performances of athletes Dharani, Rajalakshmi, and Kethikesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concluding his address, Udhayanidhi invited aspiring sportspersons to register for the <strong>Chief Minister\u2019s Trophy<\/strong> via the SDAT website before the 16th of this month, encouraging them to continue honing their academic and athletic skills. He affirmed the government\u2019s commitment to supporting students\u2019 growth and preserving the college\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was attended by Higher Education Minister Dr. K. Ponmudy, Rajya Sabha MP P. Wilson, MLAs S. Aravind Ramesh and A.M.V. Prabhakar Raja, Higher Education Secretary Dr. P. Shankar (IAS), Director of Collegiate Education E.
