Impact After Term | 12 : iTNT Hub — Laying the Foundation for Tamil Nadu's Deep Tech Ecosystem (Part 1) As global technology leadership increasingly shifts towards Artificial Intelligence and other Deep Tech sectors, Tamil Nadu recognised the need to move beyond traditional IT services and build an innovation ecosystem capable of transforming research, talent and technology into globally competitive enterprises. Recognising this opportunity and the immense potential of Tamil Nadu's highly skilled youth, Dr. Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR), as Minister for Finance and Human Resources Management, announced the establishment of the i-Tamil Nadu Technology (iTNT) Hub in the 2022–23 Budget with an allocation of ₹54.61 crore. The objective was to create a dedicated institutional platform that could accelerate Deep Tech innovation and entrepreneurship in the State. Launched by Hon'ble Chief Minister Thiru M.K.Stalin on 15 May 2023, iTNT Hub was established as India's first dedicated innovation platform focused on Deep Tech and Emerging Technologies. Through initiatives such as BEACON, PATHFINDER, iAccelerate and the JIGSAW innovation framework, the Hub brought together government, academia, industry, investors and startups while providing access to advanced infrastructure including Fab Labs, 3D Printing facilities, Industry 4.0 tools and specialised technology resources. In doing so, it helped connect research, industry and capital, enabling ideas to evolve into scalable products and enterprises. The impact has been substantial. iTNT Hub has supported more than 2,800 startups, connected nearly 7,000 researchers, facilitated partnerships with over 200 institutions, established collaborations with more than 80 incubation centres—including 20 international partnerships—and enabled over 10,000 entrepreneurs to benefit from its ecosystem. Beyond supporting startups, iTNT Hub has helped create the foundations of a statewide Deep Tech ecosystem. By strengthening the pathways from innovation to enterprise creation, it has positioned Tamil Nadu to compete in the technologies that will shape the future global economy. — Admin Team

Impact After Term | 15 : TVA's Tamil Digital Library — Bringing Tamil's Civilisational Knowledge to the Digital Age Established by Kalaignar in 2001 to enable the Tamil language to thrive in the Internet era and promote Tamil learning across the world, the Tamil Virtual Academy has spearheaded several pioneering digital initiatives. Among its most significant has been the Tamil Digital Library—created to preserve centuries of Tamil literature, manuscripts, archival records and cultural resources in digital form, while making them freely accessible to students, researchers and Tamil communities worldwide. Following the formation of the DMK Government in 2021, the Tamil Digital Library underwent a significant transformation. As Minister for Finance and Human Resources Management, Dr. PTR allocated ₹96.65 lakh in the 2022–23 Budget to accelerate the digitisation of rare books, manuscripts and archival collections. After assuming charge as Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, he oversaw the next phase of its expansion, broadening both its scale and public accessibility. Today, the Tamil Digital Library hosts over one lakh rare books, manuscripts, journals and historical records. Nearly 19.89 lakh pages have been digitised, including over eight lakh palm-leaf manuscript pages, thousands of rare photographs and hundreds of hours of archival audio-visual material—creating one of the largest digital knowledge repositories dedicated to an Indian language. The initiative also placed a strong emphasis on accessibility. With an allocation of ₹1 crore for the Inclusive Digital Library, access was expanded for persons with visual impairments. During Dr. PTR's tenure as Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, 12.85 lakh pages were converted using OCR technology, while 1.30 lakh pages were made available in accessible formats such as DOC, EPUB, DAISY and Braille-compatible editions. The initiative was further expanded through a series of dedicated digital knowledge platforms, including Tamilar Thagaval Attruppadai, the Digital Cultural Atlas and Kalaignar Karuvoolam. During this period, the complete digitised works of 38 eminent Tamil scholars, literary figures and leaders were also made publicly accessible, alongside thematic digital collections preserving Tamil Nadu's literary, political, social and cultural history. The impact has been substantial. Website visits increased from 1.25 crore in 2021 to over 17.25 crore by 2026, with more than 13.27 crore visits recorded during Dr. PTR's tenure, reflecting the growing global use of these digital resources. The Tamil Digital Library has transformed centuries of Tamil knowledge into a living digital resource for future generations.

Alhamdulillah! After months of dedicated effort, persistent follow-up, and close engagement with all stakeholders, the Punjab Assembly has today passed the bill upgrading UET Lahore Sub-Campus Narowal into an independent University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Narowal. This landmark achievement marks the beginning of a new era of growth, excellence, innovation, and opportunity for the youth of Narowal and the surrounding region. As an autonomous institution, UET Narowal will be better positioned to expand academic programs, strengthen research and innovation, forge industry linkages, and produce the highly skilled human capital required for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. The legislation has been carefully designed to meet the demands of the new technological age, incorporating modern governance, academic, and institutional frameworks that will enable the university to evolve into a centre of excellence in engineering, technology, entrepreneurship, and applied research. I congratulate the students, faculty, alumni, and people of Narowal on this historic milestone. This achievement reinforces our commitment to investing in education, empowering our youth, and building a knowledge-driven Pakistan in line with the vision of URAAN Pakistan. The journey has only begun. InshaAllah, UET Narowal will emerge as one of Pakistan’s leading innovation driven technological institutions and a catalyst for regional and national development.

Impact After Term | 07 : Special Initiatives of the Finance Department | 02 : Economic Advisory Council — Bringing Global Expertise to Tamil Nadu's Development Goals Major reforms are rarely shaped by a single viewpoint. The most successful governments create systems that challenge assumptions, incorporate diverse perspectives, and draw upon the best available expertise. Recognising this, the DMK Government led by Thiru. M.K.Stalin constituted the Economic Advisory Council in 2021. Conceived as a special initiative of the Finance Department under Dr. Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR), the Council brought together some of the world's most respected economists and policy experts to help Tamil Nadu navigate the economic challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and chart a path towards rapid, inclusive, and sustainable long-term growth. The Council comprised Nobel Laureate Prof. Esther Duflo, former RBI Governor Prof. Raghuram Rajan, former Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of India Dr. Arvind Subramanian, development economist Prof. Jean Drèze, and former Union Finance Secretary Dr. S. Narayan. Deliberately designed to reflect different schools of thought on economics, development, welfare, and governance, each member was individually invited by Dr. PTR and accepted the invitation without prior knowledge of the other members who would eventually serve on the Council. As a result, this initiative brought five distinct perspectives to some of Tamil Nadu's most important policy challenges, helping shape its long-term development agenda and institutional reforms. Working under the leadership of the Hon'ble Chief Minister Thiru. M.K.Stalin and in consultation with various Government departments, the Council contributed to policy discussions across education, healthcare, social welfare, industry, energy, information technology, and public finance. Its recommendations helped shape Tamil Nadu's COVID-19 third-wave countermeasures, the Illam Thedi Kalvi scheme to address learning losses among students, support measures for MSME recovery, improvements in local body finances, and reforms to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the power sector. The Council also contributed to data-centric governance reforms, Tamil Nadu's memorandum to the 16th Finance Commission, and strategies to strengthen the State's fiscal health. Notably, all five members of the Council contributed their time, expertise, and guidance entirely in a public-spirited capacity, without accepting any remuneration from the Government. — Admin Team
