Marked by its crowded roads, densely populated areas, and ongoing civic upgrades, Thiru. Vi. Ka. Nagar constituency reflects the changing face of north Chennai, where development aspirations and civic concerns continue to shape the political mood.

This reserved constituency, carved out of the Perambur constituency, presents a mix of high-rise buildings along with lower middle-class neighbourhoods. Named after Tamil scholar Thiru V. Kalyanasundaram, it comprises areas such as Pattalam, Otteri, Jamalia, Pulianthope, and parts of Perambur and Ayanavaram.
