In a recent development, DMK Member of Parliament Kanimozhi has accused Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan of misrepresenting Tamil Nadu’s position on PM-SHRI schools. Kanimozhi clarified that Tamil Nadu never agreed to the three-language policy or the National Education Policy (NEP) in its entirety. This accusation comes after Pradhan alleged that Tamil Nadu was creating a language controversy for political gains. Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has also joined the conversation, criticizing the DMK for what she perceives as hypocrisy. The ongoing debate highlights the tensions between the central government and the Tamil Nadu administration regarding language policies in schools. It remains to be seen how this disagreement will be resolved and what implications it may have on education policies in the state.
