The Chief Minister inaugurated a materials museum to showcase Tamil Nadu’s glory to the world. The Chief Minister has presented to the world the fact that iron was used in Tamil Nadu 5,200 years ago, rice was used 3,200 years ago, and an urban civilization existed 4,000 years ago. The support of the central government is sufficient for all this.
It is a pleasure to announce that hostels for girls will be established in the Union Budget. While the national failure rate in higher education is 28.4 percent, in Tamil Nadu, this rate has surged to 47 percent.
