Fill Tamil faculty posts in DU, says Kanimozhi
The Hindu
‘They have been vacant for 10 years’
DMK Member of Parliament (MP) Kanimozhi Karunanidhi on Monday wrote to Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan, urging the Union Government to direct the University of Delhi to take proactive steps to make appointments to faculty positions in the Tamil Departments of the various colleges.
She said the university was not appointing faculty for Tamil Departments, the posts of which had been vacant for the past 10 years. “This inevitably threatens these courses and can lead to the closure of the Tamil Departments,” she said.
Ms. Kanimozhi said all the faculty positions of a professor, two associate professors and two assistant professors were vacant in the Delhi University’s Tamil Department.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
