Tamil Nadu plans $1 trillion economy by 2030
Tamil Nadu's 2025-26 budget aims to create a $1 trillion economy by 2030, focusing on education, employment, exports, environment, and equity. Key initiatives include expanding digital education and scholarships for government school students. The budget supports employment through new industrial training institutes and targeted job creation in sectors like electronics and shipbuilding. It also plans to fill 40,000 government positions and establish a welfare board for gig workers. Environmental priorities include water resource management and developing a new 'Global City' near Chennai. The budget introduces incentives for women's property ownership but lacks details on improving childcare access for working women.
