The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister launched the 1000 Rupees Scheme to provide monthly financial assistance for women on the birth anniversary of the late C N Annadurai, a Dravidian icon. The Tamil Nadu (TN) Government launched the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam (Kalaignar Scheme for Right of Women), or 1000 Rupees scheme, in Kancheepuram, the hometown of C N Annadurai on 15 September 2023.

Under the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Scheme, the TN Government provides financial assistance of Rs.1,000 every month to the women residents of Tamil Nadu. The TN Government identified around 1.06 crore women beneficiaries under the scheme.
