Certificate Course in Tamil Language

The Tamil Development Department, Govt. of Tamil Nadu has established a Tamil Chair in Utkal University of Culture since 2001 for Tamil language, teaching and research among non-Tamil speaking people. The University has introduced a Certificate Course in Tamil Language since 2011. Students from different walks of life like Advocates, Engineers, Teachers and other professionals are taking keen interest in learning Tamil Language.
