Chennai, Jan 14 (Reporter) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday
welcomed the Centre's decision to postpone the UGC NET exams in the
State, which coincided with the Pongal festival.
In a post on X, he said "I had written to the Hon’ble Union Education Minister
requesting the rescheduling of the UGC NET exams".
"It is a rightful decision that the exams have now been postponed", he said.
It has become a recurring practice for the Union Government to announce
major exams on Tamil cultural festival days, only to reschedule them following
state intervention, Mr Stalin said.
"Let us hope that, moving forward, every institution in this country respects
its rich diversity and considers the sentiments of all its people when making
decisions", he added...////...
