The Tamil Nadu government will definitely look to fulfil demands made through four resolutions passed by the Tamizh Iyakkam, a collective that aims to bring together Tamils from across the world, Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam said.

The four resolutions passed by the Tamizh Iyakkam, which was launched here on Monday, are: making Tamil one of the compulsory languages from kindergarten to university, allowing judges of the High Court and the Supreme Court to sign in their mother tongue while taking the oath of office, providing enough jobs to students who study Tamil literature, and making announcements in bus depots and airports in Tamil, apart from other languages.

Mr. Panneerselvam said: “We will definitely look at these resolutions and the government will try to ensure that these are fulfilled.”

“The government will provide all support that is required by the Tamizh Iyakkam, which has embarked on a journey to do service for Tamil and the progress of Tamil people worldwide,” he said.

Minister for Tamil Development Ma Foi K. Pandiarajan said the government would look at fulfilling the resolutions passed at the event. He listed out the measures taken by the government to promote Tamil. Vellore Institute of Technology’s founder-chancellor G. Viswanathan, who is also the founder-chairman of the Tamizh Iyakkam, said the movement was aimed at bringing together Tamils from across the world.

“Tamil is one of the seven oldest surviving languages in the world. Of the seven, only Chinese and Tamil have not seen changes in the words used. And Tamil is older than Chinese,” he added.
