Now, 'Classical Tamil' meet to be held in June

CHENNAI: With the board of the International Association of Tamil Research (IATR) failing to come to a consensus on the suggested dates for the ninth World Tamil Conference, the TN government on Friday announced that a four-day international conference on ���Classical Tamil��� would be held from June 24 next in Coimbatore.
This means that the conference will be an independent event and not part of the World Tamil Conference series held under the auspices of the IATR for the last four decades.TN hosted the conference thrice in the past ��� in 1968 (Chennai), 1981 (Madurai) and 1995 (Thanjavur).
