Governor of Tamil Nadu

 

The Hindu has reported on 24^th April that, the governor Of Tamil Nadu  is going to inaugurate two days VC’s conference in Udhaga Mandalam. By now, all of us know that,  the entire  burden of expenditure will be borne by Tamil Nadu Government  at a time when the state is facing heavy burden of debt, and heavy expenditure due the need to allocate finance for new schemes to fulfill their poll promises and due to the  raising cost of the existing schemes. The very slow transfer of  funds due from the central government to this state has created a critical  financial position in Tamil Nadu. More over, the state government has enough officials with expertise on education matters and they, in consultation with the Chief Minister and Higher Education Minister would formulate a suitable higher education policy and programmes for this state.   I hope the government of India has not entrusted to the Tamil Nadu governor the task of making India through “ideas and action plan for India’s role for emerging new world order and for it to be a world leader by 2047.”  Let him not indulge with hyper sensitive matters like higher education as a past time activity and disturb the peace prevailing in Tamil Nadu now and cause additional expenditures to the government.
