Tamil Nadu Budget 2025 : Upholding the Two-Language Legacy Amidst Central Funding Challenges

Tamil Nadu Budget 2025 On March 14, 2025, the atmosphere at Fort St. George in Chennai was electric as Tamil Nadu’s Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu unveiled the state’s budget for 2025–26. In a move that has sparked widespread debate, Thennarasu made it crystal clear: Tamil Nadu will not compromise on its cherished two-language policy. Even if it means shouldering the financial burden, the state is ready to take a stand against the Centre’s push for a three-language formula.

A Defiant Message to the Centre

Across leading media outlets—from live updates on Times of India and in-depth analyses by The Week and Economic Times to commentaries by The Hindu and NDTV—one message dominated the narrative. Thennarasu’s declaration wasn’t just about numbers; it was a passionate reaffirmation of Tamil Nadu’s cultural priorities. The finance minister’s unwavering tone underlined that preserving the Tamil language and heritage remains non-negotiable, even if it affects central funding streams like those from the Samagra Shiksha scheme.
