Tamil Nadu Chief Minister announced special marks for part-time teachers and an increase in pensions for several worker groups.
Part-time teachers will get special marks based on experience in exams for permanent teacher recruitment, and a government order will be issued soon.
The State government has already given part-time teachers a salary hike and the May month salary, which was earlier given only to regular teachers.
An additional 1.80 lakh people will receive a monthly pension under the Ungaludan Stalin scheme from 4 February 2026.
The pension for noon-meal organisers, anganwadi workers, and panchayat union clerks has been increased from ₹2,000 to ₹3,400, with retirement benefits raised to ₹2 lakh.
