										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The National Education Policy announced in July 2020 has been facing strict opposition by the recently formed DMK government. The proposed three language formula does not seem to work for them. Even the previous AIADMK government had made it clear that they would stick to the two language formula. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The implementation of three language systems would pave the way for imposition of Hindi and Sanskrit. Through the policy, the centre insists that there should be two Indian languages, Tamil will naturally be the first language here. Centre is talking as if English foes not exist. Ours is a multi-cultural and multi-linguistic society and we can&#8217;t accept the imposition of Hindi and Sanskrit.&#8221;The School Education Minister of Tamil Nadu, Anbil Mahesh Poyyamazohi. </span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">I will be virtually attending the meeting with State Education Secretaries on 17th May, 2021 at 11 AM. The objective of the meeting is to review the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/COVID?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#COVID</a> situation, online education, and work around NEP. <a href="https://t.co/6VMXkBldLU">pic.twitter.com/6VMXkBldLU</a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Poyyamazohi also said that they also offered some solutions but there has been no response from the centre. In view of this, they had boycotted the meeting convened by Ramesh Pokhriyal, &#8220;Nishank&#8221;. It was organized to discuss the implementation of NEP with the State Education Secretaries. </span></p>
