Anbumani Ramadoss, Member of Parliament and leader of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), has urged the Tamil Nadu government to halt Periyar University’s proposal to introduce engineering courses. Ramadoss expressed concerns about the move, stating that it could potentially jeopardize the quality of engineering education in the state. He emphasized the need to focus on enhancing the existing engineering colleges rather than establishing new ones. The PMK leader also pointed out that there was already a surplus of engineering graduates in Tamil Nadu, leading to many of them struggling to find suitable employment opportunities. Ramadoss called for a comprehensive review of the proposal and urged the government to prioritize improving the standards of education in the state. The issue has sparked debate among education experts and policymakers, with differing views on the necessity of introducing more engineering courses. The Tamil Nadu government is yet to respond to Ramadoss’ plea, and the future of Periyar University’s plan remains uncertain. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
