Union Minister Questions DMK on Tamil Medium Enrollment Decline
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has levied accusations of hypocrisy against the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), citing a significant drop in Tamil medium student enrollments, while the party simultaneously champions “Tamil pride.”
Pradhan’s criticism comes amidst renewed scrutiny of the DMK’s opposition to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The Minister has raised concerns regarding the apparent contradiction between the party’s public pronouncements and the observed decline in students opting for Tamil as their medium of instruction.
Further details on the enrollment figures and the government’s response are expected to be released in the coming days.
