IndiaTamil Nadu's government has announced a new initiative called 'Thaaimaaman Thanga Mothira Thittam,' which provides a one-gram gold ring to newborns delivered in government hospitals. The scheme applies to children born between June 22, 2026, and onwards to families with permanent residency in the state. It will be officially launched on September 15, 2026, marking the birth anniversary of former chief minister C N Annadurai. The program is part of broader efforts to improve maternal and child welfare, including financial aid for pregnant women, free healthcare services, and nutritional support. The initiative draws inspiration from the traditional practice of receiving gifts from the maternal uncle, often in the form of gold.
