2
Nagpur: Convenors of Kanchi Kamakoti Kainkaryam, K Jagadeesan and G Chandrashekharan, submitted a memorandum to Governor CP Radhakrishnan, during his visit to Nagpur for the Bharat Bharati Tamil Sneh Milan 2025 held at Raj Bhavan.
The letter requested the governor to recommend the resumption of the Nagpur-Chennai air service, which was suspended earlier, citing the inconvenience caused to students and professionals in Tamil Nadu's engineering, medical, and IT sectors. Another letter urged the Governor to recommend a fast train or Vande Bharat service between Nagpur and Chennai.
Given his role as chancellor of universities, the governor was also requested to facilitate the introduction of a Tamil language section or chair at Nagpur University for the benefit of the Tamil-speaking community and future generations.
Governor Radhakrishnan interacted with members of the Tamil community and assured that he would convey their concerns to the Govt of India.

Tamil Nadu CM Stalin introduces state's new education policy in response to Centre's NEP
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin unveiled the state's new education policy on Friday in response to the Centre's NEP that he considers to be against social justice and aimed at 'imposing' Hindi upon the state. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has unveiled state's new education policy that he considers to be against social justice and aimed at 'imposing' Hindi upon the state. (File/PTI) Tamil Nadu, he said, was firm in following the bilingual policy of Tamil and English and the new state education policy has been framed to make the students future-ready and well equipped, the Chief Minister said at the event. The policy was deep-rooted in the progressive ideals and was aimed at creating students who think and ask questions rather than merely learn by memorising. 'We want to provide the necessary energy for future life. We want to create students who are technologically minded, creative, future-ready and well equipped,' Stalin said while speaking at a state-level felicitation for school students and release of the State Education Policy 2025. Also, it has been proposed to give importance to physical activities, he added. 'Mother tongue Tamil is our identity, our pride. The bilingual policy of Tamil and English will be our firm stand. And I reaffirm this,' Stalin said at the event organised by the school education department. The chief minister gave away certificates of appreciation and laptops to the state government school students who secured admissions in institutes of higher education. 'It is a great joy to release the Tamil Nadu State School Education Policy 2025. Tamil Nadu has a unique character in everything. There is progressive thinking. Based on that, we have created this education policy with the necessary vision for the future,' he said. Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi, State Ministers, Chief Secretary N Muruganandam, and senior officials were among those who participated. There would be no public exam for Class XI, as per the Tamil Nadu SEP - School Education released by the Chief Minister at the Anna Centenary Library, here. The policy is viewed as an alternative to the Centre's National Education Policy. With this, Tamil Nadu becomes the first state to introduce its own education policy based on the set of recommendations made by a 14-member panel headed by retired Chief Justice of Delhi High Court, D Murugesan.

Wish India flourishes without language terror: Mamata
Amid protests over alleged harassment of Bengali-speaking migrants in BJP-ruled States, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday (August 8, 2025) referred to Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore and wished that the country flourished without the "terror of language". She also hoped that people would wake up in an India where "Rabindranath's language, Bengali, receives respect, dignity, and the love of all citizens". 'I offer my reverence at the feet of the world poet Rabindranath Tagore. He resides in our hearts in every living moment. He is the poet of our soul, and I invoke him today from the depths of my heart. He is our guardian and our guiding light,' Ms. Banerjee posted on X. Ms. Banerjee made her comments on a day that marks Tagore's 84th death anniversary, which, according to the Bengali calendar, falls on the 22nd day of Shravan. 'Every day is a day of remembrance in his memory. We remember the poet and celebrate him throughout the year and day and night." "May that nation awaken where Rabindranath's language, Bengali, receives respect, dignity, and the love of all citizens. May that nation flourish where there is no terror of language," the Chief Minister said. Banerjee mentioned that the state government had on Thursday organised a programme in Jhargram district, remembering Tagore. 'Yesterday, we had a government programme in Jhargram. There, we had the opportunity to pay tribute to many scholars. We bowed to the world poet on that occasion. Before that programme, we also paid tribute to him publicly on social media,' she added.
