Madras offers free higher education for Lankan refugees
CHENNAI: The University of Madras has decided to provide free higher education at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels to children of Sri Lankan refugees in the country, particularly to those residing in Tamil Nadu.
"Children of refugees from Sri Lanka living in India, particularly those in Tamil Nadu, will be given free education from the next academic year at the university, especially if they are willing to pursue education through the distance mode. A political solution alone is not enough to resolve the refugee issue. These people have suffered. Education is the right tool to uplift them," said university vice-chancellor G Thiruvasagam. The decision was taken at the syndicate meeting held on Friday.
The university will also uphold the reservation policy of the state for candidates who want to pursue PhD at the university or in affiliate colleges. "They have to pass the entrance exam but admission to PhD courses will be in keeping with the reservation policy. A four-member committee headed by the registrar will look into the modalities of the admission process. The policy will be implemented from the batch that commences in January 2010," professor Thiruvasagam explained.
