NEP 2020: தமிழ்நாடு அரசு ஏற்க மறுப்பது ஏன்? | TNM Tamil | Shabbir Ahmed | Yen Endra Kelvi

The tussle between Tamil Nadu and the Union government over the New Education Policy (NEP) has ignited language debate across the country. Tamil Nadu, which has followed a two-language policy since 1968, opposes the three-language formula proposed under NEP, viewing it as an attempt to impose Hindi and Sanskrit. The Union government, however, insists that the policy is aimed at modernizing education and expanding learning opportunities. The conflict crossed its line after the allocation of funds under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan and the PM SHRI initiative, with Tamil Nadu alleging that the Union government is using financial aid as leverage to push NEP implementation. In response, the state has announced its own funding measures for school education in their budget 2025-26. In this week’s Yen Endra Kelvi, Shabbir Ahmed breaks down the political and ideological divide, its impact on the lives of students, and the larger agenda of RSS and BJP revolving around the New Education Policy.
