Teach medicine in Tamil, Shah urges TN govt

Union home minister Amit Shah urged the Tamil Nadu government on Saturday to introduce Tamil as the medium of instruction for medical and other technical courses, saying it would help students understand their lessons better.

Several states had already moved to offer medical and technical education in their native languages and Tamil Nadu should follow suit, Shah said. This would also help students pursue research in Tamil.

Speaking at the platinum jubilee celebrations of India Cements Ltd here, Shah said promoting Tamil was the nation’s responsibility as it was one of the oldest languages. TNN
