Stalin's visit was after the gypsies had invited him to visit their locality over a video conference after he had interacted with three school going girls in that community.
Earlier last month, the girls had narrated the problems they initially faced in their school and how they overcame them to an online media.
Stalin met the girls at the state Secretariat.

Later, he had food at the residence of Dharshani, a school student who had met him earlier.
The gypsies expressed their happiness to Stalin on his visit and the latter said he had requested the Central government to include the narikuravar community under the scheduled tribe category.
