CM Stalin Calls for Nurturing Children’s Dreams and Reducing Screen Time on Children’s Day

Tamil Nadu’s chief minister, M.K. Stalin, addressed a gathering on Children’s Day, emphasizing that the nation’s future rests on how well the younger generation’s dreams are nurtured. He appealed to parents, educators and community leaders to create environments that encourage curiosity, creativity and physical activity, rather than excessive reliance on electronic devices.

Stalin highlighted that holistic development—through reading, arts, sports and hands‑on experiences—helps children build confidence and critical thinking skills. He urged schools to integrate more experiential learning modules and called on families to limit screen exposure, especially after school hours.

The chief minister also reminded citizens that government schemes aimed at child welfare and education are most effective when complemented by active involvement at home and in neighborhoods. He concluded by urging everyone to view Children’s Day as a reminder to invest time and resources in the aspirations of the nation’s youth.
