Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay on Monday completed 100 days in office.
The milestone came with a report titled “100 Days of Governance – A Government for Generations”, which consisted of all the achievements during his maiden term.
Vijay’s government announced jobs for victims’ families, but the Madras HC struck down the move over equality and public employment concerns. The CBI is probing the case. The Supreme Court later stayed the ruling. Class XI students in government and government-aided schools are also being provided branded bicycles along with helmets and water bottles.
Within the first few weeks, it announced nine new textbooks for Classes 1 to 3.
Vijay thus became the head of the first government in decades in Tamil Nadu that was not led by either the DMK or AIADMK. The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government has used its first 100 days to roll out welfare measures, expand benefits for students and women, announce relief for farmers, push investment and tighten its anti-drug and liquor-control measures. The actor-turned-politician took oath as Tamil Nadu chief minister on May 10 after TVK was the largest vote-scoring party in the 2026 Assembly election. The party won 108 seats and formed a coalition government with its allies, including the Congress, VCK and IUML.

In his first Independence Day speech as chief minister, he said that preventing government revenue from going to private individuals was a key priority and that action was being taken to eliminate graft. He also said that fighting corruption was comparable to achieving freedom. AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami has attacked the Vijay government over its handling of the issue and said that the administration lacks the experience required to protect Tamil Nadu’s interests and that delta farmers are suffering. Vijay has said that while his government will cooperate with the Centre on administrative matters, it will oppose decisions that go against Tamil Nadu’s rights.

Earlier reporting noted: Together, the video and visual data underscore an administration focused on institutional accountability, rapid infrastructure growth, and inclusive welfare designed to benefit future generations.
