Yet another milestone in strengthening Tamil Nadu’s IT ecosystem — the ELCOT IT Tower at Sholinganallur was inaugurated on Feb 13, 2026 by Hon’ble CM Thiru M. K. Stalin. Spread across 6.33 acres with 2.33 lakh sq. ft. of built-up space, the IT & ITES facility is expected to generate employment for around 3,200 professionals, further reinforcing our technology-driven growth and job creation efforts. With this inauguration, it becomes the third IT tower operationalised during my tenure as IT Minister. Earlier, the 1.16 lakh sq. ft. facility in Trichy (17.02.2024) and the 2.66 lakh sq. ft. tower in Coimbatore (05.11.2024), were inaugurated by the Hon’ble CM, expanding Tamil Nadu’s regional IT footprint.

Impact After Term | 16 : Transforming Madurai into a Regional Technology Hub Madurai has long stood as one of the world's oldest living cities and a symbol of Tamil civilisation. As the elected representative of Madurai Central, Dr. PTR believed that the city's future should be defined not only by its rich history, but also by technology, innovation and knowledge-based employment. As Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, he worked towards extending Tamil Nadu's IT growth beyond Chennai, with a special focus on transforming Madurai into a regional technology and innovation hub. This vision was pursued through a combination of institutional investments, industry partnerships and strategic interventions. Alongside the establishment of the iTNT Hub Regional Centre to nurture Deep Tech innovation in southern Tamil Nadu, sustained efforts attracted new technology companies, enabled existing firms to expand and strengthened Madurai's innovation ecosystem. Today, the Madurai ELCOT SEZ alone supports more than 4,000 IT jobs. Four landmark initiatives launched in February 2026 by then Hon'ble Chief Minister Thiru. M.K.Stalin reflected this broader transformation. Among them was the ₹150 crore Pinnacle Infotech Global Centre of Excellence at the Madurai ELCOT IT Park. Having already created nearly 1,500 local jobs after commencing operations in Madurai in 2023, the company chose the city for the next phase of its AI-enabled Building Information Modelling (BIM) operations—reflecting growing confidence in Madurai's talent pool and technology ecosystem. Complementing this, the ₹50 lakh HP Centre of Excellence was established at Sri Meenakshi Government Arts College for Women through HP's CSR initiative in partnership with ICT Academy. The centre equips women students from Madurai and neighbouring districts with industry-ready digital skills, helping bridge the gap between education and employment while strengthening the talent pipeline for the region's expanding technology sector. Pinnacle Infotech also laid the foundation for Tamil Nadu's first dedicated women's residential campus within an IT Special Economic Zone, accommodating around 1,200 women professionals and creating the support infrastructure needed to encourage greater participation of women in the technology workforce. A long-standing land constraint that had limited industrial expansion was also addressed. When HCLTech sought to expand its operations in Madurai, the availability of suitable land had become a major challenge. Through Dr. PTR's intervention, underutilised land originally allotted to Honeywell was reclaimed and allotted to HCLTech through ELCOT, paving the way for a ₹150 crore expansion project on 2.41 acres at the Ilanthaikulam SEZ. The project is expected to create 1,000 additional technology jobs while transforming idle land into productive investment. Taken together, these initiatives have helped reshape Madurai's technology landscape. By bringing together global investment, skill development, women's participation and employment generation, they continue to create opportunities for thousands of young people across Madurai and southern Tamil Nadu—an impact that extends well beyond the tenure in which these initiatives were undertaken. — Admin Team

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 | 13 : iTNT Hub — Scaling Tamil Nadu's Deep Tech Ecosystem (Part 2) Establishing iTNT Hub was only the first step. The larger vision was to ensure that Tamil Nadu's emerging Deep Tech ecosystem extended beyond Chennai, enabling innovators, researchers and entrepreneurs across the State to participate in the technologies shaping the future. Under the leadership of Dr. PTR as Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, iTNT Hub expanded through regional centres in Tiruchirappalli, Madurai and Coimbatore. By bringing world-class infrastructure, mentoring, industry partnerships and access to investment closer to Tier-II and Tier-III cities, the initiative laid the foundation for a more decentralised innovation ecosystem. To strengthen early-stage Deep Tech entrepreneurship, the FOUNDATION Fund was launched, through which the first five startups received ₹53 lakh in seed funding. The Deep Tech Hardware Product Design Scheme further supported indigenous hardware innovation by providing grants of up to ₹15 lakh for product design and development. Recognising that innovation achieves its greatest value only when research reaches the marketplace, the Tamil Nadu Technology Transfer Facilitation Centre (TNTTFC) was established in July 2025. Through patent facilitation, IP management, Innovation Spotlight and the Research2Revenue programme, the initiative has already enabled more than 60 patent filings while helping researchers translate ideas into commercially viable technologies. Announced by Dr. PTR in the Legislative Assembly in June 2024 and successfully held on 30 July 2025, the Innovate in TN IP Conclave strengthened Tamil Nadu's intellectual property ecosystem. Bringing together organisations such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Indian Patent Office, NASSCOM, C-DAC, Bosch and Mahindra & Mahindra, the conclave showcased 16 emerging technologies, facilitated four technology transfers to industry, and connected 44 researchers and startups with iTNT Hub's pre-incubation and acceleration programmes. During this period, iTNT Hub also expanded Tamil Nadu's global innovation network through collaborations with leading universities, research institutions and industry partners in India and abroad. Partnerships with organisations such as the University of Melbourne, Rutgers University, Bosch, Amazon Web Services, Rolls-Royce, C-DAC and others opened new opportunities for technology collaboration, industry engagement and global market access for startups. These initiatives culminated in the launch of the Tamil Nadu Deep Tech Startup Policy at UmagineTN 2026, providing the State with its first comprehensive policy framework dedicated to accelerating Deep Tech innovation, strengthening research commercialisation and building globally competitive technology enterprises. Together, these initiatives transformed iTNT Hub from an innovation platform into a comprehensive Deep Tech ecosystem—connecting research, entrepreneurship, industry, investment and public policy. In doing so, they strengthened Tamil Nadu's position as one of India's leading destinations for frontier technology and innovation. — 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.

Impact After Term | 05 : Special Initiatives of the Finance Department | 01 : Special Task Force — Identifying & Recovering Unutilised Public Funds Even before assuming office as Minister for Finance & Human Resources Management, Dr. Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR) consistently advocated stronger accountability and efficiency in public finance management through his interventions in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, as a member of the Public Accounts Committee and as the Opposition MLA who regularly initiated the Assembly's general discussion on the Budget between 2017 and 2021. After the DMK Government assumed office under the leadership of Thiru. M.K.Stalin, one of the administration’s central priorities was ensuring that public funds allocated for welfare and development were efficiently utilised and properly monitored. In the 2021–22 Budget, the Government announced a Special Task Force (STF) to identify dormant and unutilised government funds parked in bank accounts outside treasury oversight. The STF undertook a large-scale reconciliation exercise involving government departments, public institutions, district administrations, and banks across Tamil Nadu. Alongside this, a dual-track survey and verification mechanism was introduced to systematically identify dormant and unutilised public funds across fragmented financial accounts and institutions, while also strengthening transparency and fiscal oversight. Within the initial phase itself, nearly ₹2,000 crore in idle public funds was identified and recovered. According to the Tamil Nadu Government’s 2026–27 Interim Budget, the STF has since examined nearly 11 lakh bank accounts and identified over ₹12,078 crore in dormant and unutilised public funds. Resources that had remained scattered and unmonitored across thousands of accounts were brought back into the public financial system, making them available for welfare programmes, infrastructure development, and other public investments across Tamil Nadu. — Admin Team

#WATCH | Washington DC, USA: Speaking exculsively to ANI, World Bank President Ajay Banga congratulates PM Modi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. He says, I will start by congratulating Prime Minister Modi for his 13 years in office. India's development story has been quite remarkable, not just because of its scale, but because of the way it has combined growth, infrastructure, digital innovation, and inclusion. From the World Bank's perspective, what stands out is the consistency of direction, consistency of reform, consistency of execution, building infrastructure, expanding digital public platforms, and creating the conditions for private investment and for jobs. Our partnership with India is strong, practical, focused on results. The next chapter will be about sustaining that momentum, creating more jobs, preparing the next generation, strengthening cities and infrastructure, and ensuring that growth reaches even more people. India's progress frankly matters of course for India, but not only for India. It matters for the world and we stand ready to be of help to the country."

For BSNL, our government has provided three revival packages totalling ₹3.22 lakh crore. We have dealt with the burden of oil bonds, addressed the “Fragile Five” economy, and undertaken bank restructuring and recapitalization. These were not small amounts but those of ₹3 lakh crore - ₹4 lakh crore, and now even fertiliser subsidies. Wherever there were weaknesses in the economy, they were left unaddressed earlier, and we are now paying for all of it. Yet, we are being questioned about GDP growth and fiscal deficit. The reality is that we are clearing the liabilities left behind. On spectrum allocation, after our government came to power, spectrum in bands such as 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2500 MHz and 3300 MHz has been provided to BSNL at auction-determined prices for 4G and 5G services. On BSNL, I must respectfully say that every criticism made against it is incorrect. If anything, BSNL was pushed into a critical condition earlier. It was in the ICU, and we have revived it and brought it back on track. The Union Cabinet has approved revival packages for BSNL. The capital infusion between 2022 and 2023 stands at ₹2.26 lakh crore. This includes spectrum allocation, capital expenditure on infrastructure, AGR dues, and restructuring of the PSU. The Make in India mandate for BSNL is a strength, not a restriction. There is no restriction on BSNL. In fact, under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, BSNL has placed an order for 1 lakh indigenously developed 4G sites for pan-India deployment. As of 28th February 2026, 97,906 sites have been installed with 4G equipment, out of which 96,103 are already operational. Additionally, the BharatNet Programme is strengthening BSNL further. An amount of ₹1.39 lakh crore has been approved to extend optical fibre connectivity to all villages across the country. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman in Rajya Sabha

Bihar is taking important steps toward building an AI-driven future. The Bihar Ai Summit brought together government leaders, policymakers, industry representatives, academia, and technology experts to discuss how Artificial Intelligence can accelerate innovation, improve public service delivery, and create new opportunities across sectors. The presence of Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Samrat Choudhary Ji, Hon'ble Deputy Chief Minister Shri Bijendra Prasad Yadav Ji, Hon'ble IT Minister Shri Nitish Mishra Ji, IT Secretary Shri Abhay Kumar Singh Ji, Hon'ble DGP Mr Vinay Kumar ji, IPS and other distinguished participants reflects Bihar's commitment to leveraging technology for economic growth and digital transformation. As AI adoption expands across governance, healthcare, education, agriculture, banking, and enterprise, the focus must remain on building practical, accessible, and impactful applications that address real-world challenges. At CoRover | BharatGPT, we believe the next phase of AI will be driven by multilingual, inclusive, and population-scale innovation built on local knowledge, local languages, and local expertise. Bihar's young talent base, academic institutions, and growing technology ecosystem create a strong foundation for this journey. Sharing highlights from the Bihar AI Summit, I spoke about the opportunity to build AI in Indian languages, enable innovation beyond major technology hubs, and create technologies that can serve both India and the world. India's AI growth story will be strengthened when more states, institutions, entrepreneurs, and innovators contribute to building solutions for India and the world.
