        abstract = {The Dravidian model is an integrated development involving all communities, all districts and all sections. The basis of the Dravidian model is "everything for all" regardless of gender or blood. “The conservative era of praising women with words and enslaving them with deeds is changing very fast. The welfare and rights of women will be protected. Our 'Dravidian Model Government' will always support the progress of women," It was Father Periyar who taught women to have self-respect at a time when women were thought to be only housework machines and servants for their husbands. In 1929, Periyar passed a resolution that women should have equal right to property as men. The artist who was the Chief Minister in 1989 fulfilled what he had said that day. It was the Dravidian model that taught the whole of India the way to give equal rights to women. This paper tries to find that the how Dravidian model create impact on the SCs and STs Women empowerment as well as their development in the Tamil society.},
