The Department of Tamil is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Tamil language, literature, and culture. Established with the vision to cultivate deep linguistic understanding and foster research in Tamil studies, the department stands as a beacon for students passionate about exploring one of the world's oldest classical languages. We aim to bridge the gap between the rich Tamil literary heritage and contemporary linguistic applications, preparing students for both academic and cultural excellence.
The department is actively engaged in research activities that explore Tamil’s rich literary heritage, folk traditions, and its application in modern contexts. Our faculty members and students frequently contribute to renowned Tamil journals and participate in national and international seminars. We also collaborate with other universities and research institutions to further Tamil studies.
