Also, he urged his Cabinet colleagues to organise job fairs in all the 234 Assembly constituencies of the State to overcome unemployment.
Speaking at a fair here, he said, "Normally Ministers place a request to the Chief Minister.
But, this time I would like to urge the Ministers to organise job fairs in Kolathur constituency from where I was elected and in all the Assembly constituencies in the State." Referring to candidates, who turned up for the fair, Stalin said, "You have come here with degrees in your hands and dreams in your hearts.
My best wishes to you for securing a job that meets your qualification and talent." The last couple of years have been a testing time for the administration, as creating new employment opportunities was challenging due to the pandemic, he said.
"The DMK assumed government during the crisis and amidst an apprehension of implementing projects.
It was a virulent situation marked by ambulance sirens and oxygen and bed shortage," he said.
"However, the DMK government set aside all other tasks and involved wholeheartedly in saving the lives of the people from coronavirus," he said.
Recently, he told a conclave that he brought the pandemic under control by donning the role of a medical professional.
"I and my Ministers had to become like medical professionals and saved the people.
