Will never accept Nagpur's disastrous project: Stalin

DMK MPs staged a demonstration wearing black outfits in the Parliament premises
Terming the new education policy as a "disastrous project of Nagpur" intended to drive away students from education, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday reiterated that his government will not budge even an inch if the Union government offered Rs 10,000 crore to implement the policy.
"In the name of NEP, the Union Government is out to completely destroy the educational development of Tamil Nadu. Hence, we are opposed to it. Rather than bringing students into education, the NEP is programmed to drive away students from education," he said, addressing a government function at Chengalpattu, after inaugurating 47 completed development projects and laying the foundation for five new projects.
