Statue of labourers, Chennai representing the Socialistic unityThe Dravidian movement, which began in Tamil Nadu, aimed at uplifting the socially repressed classes. Educating the people and eradicating superstitions were some of their objectives. They had a commitment to social justice which led to an education revolution in the state. Today many of India's premiere colleges are located in the state. One of the biggest achievements of the Dravidian parties and the earlier Kamaraj regime was their dedication to providing primary education. Schemes such as Mid-day meals, by then Chief Minister MG Ramachandran, ensured children went to school and lead to a tremendous increase in the literacy rates in the state. Another recent achievement by the present Chief Minister Dr. J.Jayalalithaa include the Womens Self Help Group that imparted social and financial independence to women in the state.
Tamil Nadu has also performed reasonably well in terms of literacy growth during the decade 1991-2001. The State's literacy rate increased from 62.66 % in 1991 to 73.47 % in 2001.
