Palaniswami said he was distressed to learn that a Tamil medium school in the Gujarat capital, catering mainly to migrant labourers "has been closed suddenly," citing low attendance.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami on Thursday urged his Gujarat counterpart Vijay Rupani to reopen a recently shut Tamil School in Ahmedabad with an assurance that the Tamil Nadu government would look over the expenditure to run the institution.

Palaniswami said he was distressed to learn that a Tamil medium school in the Gujarat capital, catering mainly to migrant labourers "has been closed suddenly," citing low attendance. These Tamil children were now left without any choice to continue their education. Requesting Rupani`s intervention, EPS urged him to "pass suitable orders" for the continuance of the Tamil medium school.

"Tamil Nadu government is willing to undertake the entire expenditure for the continuance of this Tamil medium school at Ahmedabad," the CM assured. Tamil is an ancient language and Tamils living in Gujarat continued to contribute towards the development of the state, he noted. "I hope the government of Gujarat will protect the rights to education of Tamil linguistic minorities. I would appreciate early action in this regard," he added.
