language
Thavathiru Ponnambala Adigalar, head of the Kundrakudi Mutt, in his special address underlined the importance of protecting Tamil language, literature, its tradition and cultural values and propagating the same among the present day younger generation.
Culture
This alone will pave for the progress of the future Tamil society. The youth should understand that Tamil is not only a language used to communicate, but also a weapon for spreading the worthy culture. The workshop was conducted on the topic ‘Tholkappiya Nokkil Sevviyal Ilakkiyangal’.
Renowned Tamil scholars including S. Sethupathi, member, Sahitya Akademi, handled the sessions on the ten days.
