When man sought to communicate his likes and dislikes to others, the thought of language and the thought of education appeared.

Swami Vivekananda said that 'education is to reveal the perfection hidden within man'.

Students in English medium schools grow up as a separate caste considering themselves superior. Many, including the great leaders, regret that those who are well educated and have a good degree in our country do not stay in our country and go to other countries.

Even before liberation, people were agitating for education in the mother tongue. During Rajaji's tenure, separate Tamil (for each subject) dictionary texts were published which found good Tamil words for all subjects. Rajaji encouraged writers in Tamil. Even after that there were separate dictionaries for all subjects in this category.
