The Samagra Shiksha Union, Minister of Education Dharndra Pradhan, repeated the Indian attitude of the Indian position to say on Sunday that the state government cannot issue its political priority over students’ interests.
At a press conference at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M), he claimed that the government of Tamil had to accept a memorandum of understanding that the Indian government offered for the payment of Samagra Shiksha funds. (MY orders the introduction of three languages, unlike the long -term two language policy of the state, among other things).
“You have to accept memorandums offered by the Indian government. Because the Indian government adheres to its policies. It must be mutual. But you can’t give your political priority over the interests of Tamil Nadu students. This is not a good thing. I am ready to continue cooperation.
Previously, when Mr. Pradhan asked about the funds for Tamil over the Samagra Shiksha program, he said it was a “political problem”, and in this respect he remembered his statement in Tamil Nadu and parliament. He said that the country has accepted national educational policy (NEP) and one has to do it.
Mr. Pradhan asked about the government’s attitude of Tamil over the politics of two languages and repeated his earlier statements that more than two languages were taught at some schools in Tamil Nadu. “It’s your political stand. It’s up to you!”
Mr. Pradhan claimed that he had not stored no language, said: “India’s government will not be deposited in any state in any state. They are a bit politically motivated. They create fear in society.
Mr. Pradhan said that the funds were assigned Tamil Nadu for various programs, including programs in the middle of the day and literacy programs for adults. As regards funds under the RTE Act, the Minister of the Union stated that the court had made certain observations and proposals for the Union Government.
Mr. Pradhan said he assured them of cooperation in the Act on the RTE Act, he remembered his meeting with the Minister of School Education Tamil Nadu. Asked about the funds under the law of RTE that his role was limited and respected the judgment of the courts.
The judge is a question
At the beginning of the day Mr. Pradhan asked questions from students in the auditorium, the judge of the High Court in Madras Justice Gr Swaminathan, sat in the front row, raised a question. He remembered that he set a direction on a petition in the public interest that the government of Tamil Nadu should open to the poor students to gain admission according to the law RTE.
The judge appealed to the appeal that moved in this respect in the Supreme Court and to the Publishing Council. ” The state that captivated the government of Tamil Nadu is that Dharndra Pradhanji did not publish these resources because it associated with this topic. Therefore, we cannot listen to your direction! What is it, ”Mr. Swaminathan asked.
Mr. Pradhan said in the middle of the laughter in a lighter vein, “The contempt will be there.” He said he was aware of the case. “I have to answer it outside this hall, to the media.”
