Respected chief guest respected principal respected teachers and
my beloved friends good morning all of you!
Have you know why we are gathering here? Today is an important
day for Tamilnadu. Yes yes today is educational development day. Our former chief minister Mr Kamaraj's birthday
today. Why we celebrated his birthday as a educational development day
of Tamilnadu? Let us know now. www.tamilthugal.blogspot.com
After getting independence our country has only 36 percentage of
literacy level. After that the government forced the people to study. Illiteracy in Tamilnadu demolish the economy level. There is a lack of improvement in all it's corner. Kamaraj become the chief minister of Tamilnadu on 13th April 1954
after Rajaji.
Kamaraj opened 11000 schools throught Tamil Nadu to educate the
people. But nobody else came. He thought an
Idea of insisting noon meal scheme. He also implemented with great effort. All children from the NOOK and corner of rural areas got
education and they get meals in the school also. www.tamilthugal.blogspot.com
Literacy rate of Tamilnadu increases up to 65 percentage. All states followed Kamaraj and implemented the noon meal scheme
for their states. Prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru wondered Kamaraj and appreciate
him.
Kamaraj planned to construct an elementary school of every 2
kilometre and a high school at every five kilometre. That is master plan. As Chief Minister, Kamaraj removed the family vocation based
Modified Scheme of Elementary education 1953 introduced by Rajaji. He reopened 6000 schools closed in the previous government by C. Rajagopalachari. No village remained without a primary school and no panchayat
without a high school. He introduced free school uniforms to weed out caste, creed and
class distinctions among young.
Apart from
increasing the number of schools, steps were taken to improve standards of
education. To improve standards, the number of working days was increased
from 180 to 200; unnecessary holidays were reduced. Kamaraj and Bishnuram Medhi (Governor) took efforts to establish IIT Madras in 1959. www.tamilthugal.blogspot.com
9 years of Kamaraj
tired less efforts tamilnadu's literacy level increased. Kamaraj period is a golden period for Tamilnadu. He ruled for 9 years but he make Tamil Nadu's development as a
centenary.
We worship
Kamaraj by celebrating this day as a educational development. Even he is not entering into High school in his early life. But he literate Tamilnadu people. So we always have your faith and harmful respect of Kamaraj. www.tamilthugal.blogspot.com
