Salem: “Without that pen we would never have read. That pen is the reason we all stand tall.’ Higher Education Minister Ponmudi said.
An artist study center is to be set up at Periyar University with a grant of Rs 2 crore from the Tamil Nadu government. Higher Education Minister Ponmudi Adikal laid the foundation stone for the research center. Speaking later, Higher Education Minister Ponmudi said, “The future of Tamil Nadu is in the hands of the students. The Tamil Nadu Government has taken steps to increase the potential of the students under the ‘Naan Muluvan’ scheme. Students should do more research about Tamil Nadu and Tamil language.
It was Periyar who brought Ambedkar’s principles to Tamil Nadu. Everyone is equal. It was the Dravidian movement that brought that everyone is human. The Dravidian movement is the reason why 80 percent of girls are studying in a class where there was only one girl in the class. Ambedkar, Periyar, Anna, Karanchi’s policies are being run by Chief Minister Stalin as a Dravidian model government today.
Tamil has been introduced as a subject in 2nd semester for engineering students. To be implemented soon. Karunanidhi started the Murasoli daily at the age of 14 and worked for Tamil. In his way today’s Chief Minister Stalin also has the problem of setting up a pen square in the sea. Without that pen we would never have read. That pen is the reason we all stand tall. It was Karunanidhi’s pen that gave reservation to the lower class people on the basis of social justice so that women could get more education. Periyar University students should read books about Periyar and Karunanidhi.
The Department of Higher Education is taking steps to develop speaking skills by selecting 50 people for college in the grand Tamil dream project. Students should develop their potential in all fields. Few people don’t like Tamil Nadu. It will be right if you know everything and not just read the book. Everyone should work together to do this work.
The Chief Minister has ordered to formulate a separate education policy for Tamil Nadu. 5th class and 8th class are not accepted as public examination. Tamil Nadu should act as Tamil consciousness. Only 2 languages are enough English for abroad and Tamil for local. Chief Minister Stalina will definitely implement the bilingual policy regardless of any plan against this. Wherever you go, you should have a sense of language and country. Everyone should accept that men and women are equal and spread it to everyone,” he said.
