Minister Ponmudi has requested that if governor RN ravi really cares about the governor, he should give his approval to the suggestion that Sankaraya should be given a doctorate degree.
Higher education Minister Ponmudi met the media regarding the Governor's issue at the chennai Secretariat. At that time he said that he failed to remember the freedom fighters in tamil Nadu and the governor made his comment as if he knew the history of the freedom struggle. DMK's Parliamentary Committee Chairman DR Balu has given the answer to that yesterday.
If the governor really cares about the freedom fighters, both the syndicate and the senate of madurai university will require the signature of the governor to confer an honorary doctorate on one person sent on 18.8.23 and 20.9.23. He has yet to sign the resolution passed by these two committees and sent to him.
If the
governor is really concerned, the files sent regarding the conferment of doctorate
degree to Sankaraiah from Kamarajar
university in
madurai should be executed immediately. Sankaraiah was involved in the freedom struggle for the people, dropped out of
college and spent 9 years in jail. In honor of him, the
tamil Nadu
government awarded the Thakaisal Award to Sankarayya. Therefore, hearing him talk without accepting the order to give him an honorary doctorate
degree, one can know whether he cares about the freedom fighters or not. Also, the graduation ceremony will be held on 2nd in Madurai. He said that he would request the
governor to sign the files for awarding him an honorary
degree on the same day. Finally speaking, he said that the
students of 11th and 12th class have signed the signature drive for NEET examination. He said that
students studying in private and
government colleges are also requested to sign through the website.
