Anbumani Ramadoss, Member of Parliament and leader of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), has urged the Tamil Nadu government to halt Periyar University’s decision to introduce engineering courses. Ramadoss expressed his concern over the move, stating that it could lead to a decrease in the quality of engineering education in the state. He emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards in engineering education to ensure that students receive a quality learning experience. Ramadoss also highlighted the need for universities to focus on improving existing courses rather than introducing new ones. The PMK leader called on the government to reconsider the decision and prioritize enhancing the quality of education in Tamil Nadu. Periyar University’s plan to offer engineering courses has sparked a debate among education experts and politicians in the state. The move comes at a time when there is a growing demand for skilled engineers in India. Critics argue that introducing new engineering courses without adequate infrastructure and faculty could compromise the quality of education provided to students. The Tamil Nadu government has yet to respond to Ramadoss’s request to stop Periyar University’s move. It remains to be seen how this issue will unfold and what steps the government will take in response to the concerns raised by the PMK leader.
