MINISTER for Sports Development and Youth Welfare Udhayanidhi Stalin, who also holds the special programme implementation portfolio, on Thursday said a new scheme to promote women's employment called Tamil Nadu Women Employment and Protection Scheme with several sub-components will be implemented at a cost of 1,185 crore for five years between 2024 and 2029.

The allocation for the scheme for 2024-25 will be 168 crore.

Replying to the discussion on demands for grants of his departments, Udhayanidhi announced several new schemes, including those aimed at turning women into entrepreneurs, helping graduate youth improve job skills, and psychometric tests for identifying children's talents at the school level.

Highlighting that women's contribution is vital for Tamil Nadu to become a trillion-dollar economy by 2030, the minister said the scheme, which is aimed at identifying the talents of women at the district level, will be launched in eight districts in the first phase.
