Delhi to set up academy to ‘protect Tamil language’

“Delhi is a culturally rich city where people from all parts of the country live and work. It is this diversity that forms Delhi’s vibrant and cosmopolitan culture. Delhi has a large population of people from Tamil Nadu and we want to present a platform to the people of Delhi to get the taste of the art and culture of Tamil Nadu,” said Deputy CM Manish Sisodia.

According to government officials, the activities of the academy will include introducing new awards to promote and reward works in Tamil, providing language courses and organising cultural festivals.
