Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay will unveil a new scheme on September 28 that will provide a 1‑gram gold ring to every newborn, aiming to give parents a small financial cushion at birth.
The Tamil Nadu government will launch a new welfare scheme on Monday, September 28, to provide a 1‑gram gold ring to every newborn in the state. The initiative, announced by Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, is part of the state’s efforts to offer financial security to families at the time of birth.
Under the scheme, parents will receive a gold ring weighing one gram, which can be kept as a savings asset or sold if needed. The government will cover the cost of the ring, and the distribution will take place through local health centers and maternity wards.
Gold rings have long been a symbol of prosperity and protection in Tamil culture. By giving parents a tangible asset at birth, the scheme aims to promote financial planning and provide a modest emergency fund.
The launch ceremony will be held at the state secretariat in Chennai, where CM Stalin will outline the implementation plan and invite health officials to discuss the rollout process.
