CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin on Tuesday said educational qualification was not a mere honour for an individual but a basic right. Addressing the 104th Convocation of city-based Queen Mary's College for women, the chief minister also exhorted the passing out graduates to attain maximum heights using one's qualification.
He recalled the various efforts towards women empowerment in Tamil Nadu over the decades and said "we have crossed many roadblocks in the name of religion and culture," and have ended issues like child marriage and made education primary for women.
