The Mauritius Art and Culture Minister, Mr. Motee Ramdass today called on the Union Health and Family Welfare Minister, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss and sought his help in the promotion of the Tamil art and culture in the island nation. The Mauritius Minister was accompanied by the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman of Tamil Cultural Centre Trust. The delegation explained to the Minister that there was a vibrant Tamil population in the island and the younger generation was unaware of the origin of Tamil culture although they were initiated into singing of Tamil kirtans and songs in schools.
The Tamil Culture Trust sought the help of the Minister in promoting Tamil art, culture and language. They wanted that the Tamil music schools should be accredited to a university of Tamilnadu so that proper degrees could be awarded. The delegation also sought the assistance of the Minister in setting up of a world class eye care hospital. Dr. Ramadoss promised the delegation that all assistance would be extended by his party as also the other partners in the DPA Alliance in Tamilnadu. He informed the delegation that the leader of his party organizes a function every year to felicitate Tamil writers and leaders all over the world. The parties in the DPA Alliance in Tamilnadu had convinced the Centre on the importance of Tamil and it had recently been declared as a classical language.
