🎓 Education
Quality schooling must not be a privilege of wealth.
Mylapore is home to some of the finest private schools in Chennai. But for low-income
families living right next door, those school gates might as well be walls. We will change that.
- Private schools will be required to maintain a low-income quota directly linked to their annual fee structure — the higher the fees, the larger the reserved seats for economically weaker families.
- Seat allocation will follow a transparent, government-monitored system to prevent discrimination or last-minute exclusions.
- Families admitted under this quota will receive support for books, uniforms, and transport so the opportunity is real, not just on paper.
- We will work with school managements to make this a partnership — not a burden — because diverse classrooms make better schools.
Every child in Mylapore deserves to walk into a good school, regardless of their family's income.

🔧 Employment
Honest work must bring honest pay — without middlemen taking a cut.
Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, domestic workers, delivery workers — Mylapore runs on
the hands of essential workers. Today, many of them are forced to depend on private platforms
that charge steep commissions and offer zero security. We will build something better.
- We will launch a commission-free local services app — think Urban Company, but owned and operated for the benefit of workers, not investors.
- Every registered essential worker will receive a free device and free platform access, so the digital divide does not become an income divide.
- Workers keep 100% of what they earn. Clients pay fair, transparent rates. No hidden charges on either side.
- The app will be managed by a local workers' collective with government oversight — ensuring accountability without bureaucratic red tape.
- Training and skill certification will be offered to help workers expand their services and increase their earning potential.
When we invest in our workers, we invest in the entire local economy.

🏠 Land & Property
Your land is yours. No one should be able to take it without your consent.
Land disputes, forced acquisitions, and shadowy political deals have dispossessed too many
families in our city. In Mylapore, we will establish a clear, people-first land protection framework.
- No government or private party can intervene in any land transaction or acquisition within the constituency without the prior written consent of the landowner — and the MLA will be held publicly accountable for ensuring that consent is never bypassed.
- This creates a two-lock system: the citizen's consent and the elected representative's accountability. Both must be present.
- Residents who sell their property to another resident within the constituency will be exempt from transaction taxes — keeping wealth circulating within our own community.
- All land records will be digitised, publicly accessible, and audited annually to prevent tampering or backdated changes.
Land is not just property. For most families, it is their entire life's security. We will protect it.

🤲 Anbu Maruvazhvu Mayyam
அன்பு மறுவாழ்வு மையம் — A Centre of Love and Second Chances.
On our streets today are people who have fallen through every gap in the system — those living
with mental illness, those who have lost their homes, and animals who have no one to speak for
them. We see them. And we will not look away.
- We will establish the Anbu Maruvazhvu Mayyam — a dedicated shelter and rehabilitation centre in Mylapore for people experiencing homelessness, begging, and mental health crises.
- Trained social workers, counsellors, and medical volunteers will provide dignified, ongoing care — not a one-time bed for the night.
- The centre will also function as an animal welfare hub, providing food, medical care, and shelter for stray animals in the area.
- Individuals will be supported with skill-building and reintegration programs so that the centre becomes a launchpad, not a last resort.
- The Mayyam will be funded through a combination of constituency development funds and structured community contributions.
A society's character is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable. Mylapore will be measured well.
