Tamil Nadu is moving ahead with plans for a new international airport near Chennai following the decision to move away from the earlier Parandur proposal. The state is considering alternative locations to address the city's long-term passenger and cargo transportation requirements.

The proposed airport is expected to be important for Chennai's future aviation capacity, particularly as passenger traffic, logistics and industrial activity continue to grow. The project could also strengthen connectivity for businesses and manufacturing clusters around the Chennai region.

Tamil Nadu has expanded Chennai's public transport fleet with the introduction of 250 new buses, including 130 air-conditioned electric buses.

The new electric buses are part of the state's effort to modernise urban transportation while moving towards cleaner mobility. The addition of electric vehicles is expected to improve passenger comfort and support efforts to reduce emissions from public transport.

The new buses will strengthen Chennai's public transport network as the city continues to experience growing demand for affordable and reliable mobility. The initiative also reflects the increasing importance of electric transportation in India's major cities. 

Tamil Nadu is planning to provide sports jerseys to around 23 lakh students studying in government and government-aided schools.

The initiative will cover students from Classes IX to XII. The government also plans to strengthen sports and arts activities and develop 50 government high and higher secondary schools as sports-focused institutions.

The programme is part of a wider effort to encourage students to participate in sports alongside academics.

The state is also planning to expand technology-based personalised learning initiatives in government schools.
