TN Govt Replaces Rupee Symbol in Budget Logo With Tamil Letter

|March 14, 2025
Intensifying the language tussle with the Centre, the Tamil Nadu government on Thursday replaced the Devanagari rupee symbol with a Tamil letter in its logo for the budget 2025-26, in an unprecedented move signaling its unrelenting stance against the three-language formula under the NEP.
The move comes amidst a political firestorm over the issue after the Tamil Nadu government rejected the National Education Policy, with chief minister M.K. Stalin accusing the central government of trying to impose Hindi in the state under it and claimed that NEP was a "saffron policy" aimed at promoting and developing Hindi and not the nation.
