1,917 newborns to receive gold rings in Ramanathapuram under gold ring scheme

The ‘Thaimaman Thanga Mothiram’ scheme is set to be officially launched on September 28, 2026, by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay at the Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai.

Under this welfare scheme, every child born in government hospitals across the State starting from June 22, 2026, will be presented with a one-gram gold coin.

To be eligible for the benefit, mothers must present any one of six prescribed Tamil Nadu residency and identity proofs: an e-KYC-verified Aadhaar card, a residency certificate, a voter ID card, a family card (ration card), an identity card issued by the Labour Welfare Board, or an address certificate issued by the Postal Department.

In Ramanathapuram district, a total of 1,917 babies who were born in government medical institutions since June 22 and are currently residing at home will receive their gold coins through a special district administration rollout.
