      A Most Cordial Welcome!

      Welcome to the Subramania Bharathi School of Tamil Language and Literature, where the soul of Tamil finds its vibrant voice, and its rich literary heritage is cherished, celebrated, and carried forward with pride and purpose.

      « நிகழ்காலத்தில் வாழ்ந்து எதிர்காலத்தை வடிவமைக்கவும்… »
      “Live in the present and shape the future…”.

      — declared Mahakavi Bharathiyar, the revolutionary poet, reformer, and visionary whose indomitable spirit still echoes through the cultural corridors of Pondicherry, the land that nurtured his passion and purpose.

      It is in this hallowed name and spirit that our School draws its identity and inspiration. Mahakavi Bharathi, with his electrifying words and eternal love for the Tamil language, continues to ignite the imagination of generations. True to his vision, we remain committed to fostering scholarship rooted in tradition while embracing the evolving contours of contemporary literary discourse.

      A Legacy of Excellence

      When Pondicherry University was founded in October 1985, the School of Tamil was among the first to be envisioned—an academic torchbearer in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry for advanced linguistic and literary studies. To this day, our School remains a primordial center of Tamil excellence, offering B.A. (Hons.), M.A., and Ph.D. programs, deeply aligned with national educational reforms and cultural enrichment.

      We are proud to share that:

      • The School has produced over 150 Ph.D. graduates, the highest number among language schools in the University.
      • A prestigious Subramania Bharathi Chair has been established with financial assistance from the Central Government, further cementing our national standing in Tamil studies.
      • Our faculty members are highly qualified, with outstanding academic credentials and national/international exposure.
      • We go beyond classroom learning by offering Computer Literacy, Typewriting, and Shorthand Training—empowering students with practical skills for the modern world.
      • The School organizes numerous special lectures through more than 14 active endowments, regularly inviting eminent scholars from across India to engage with our academic community.
      • Our faculty members have authored numerous books and published research articles in reputed journals, contributing substantially to Tamil literature and academic thought.

      Our Global Footprint

      With the successful completion of prestigious UGC Major Research Projects, SAP initiatives, and the organization of landmark national and international seminars, our School continues to shine on the global stage. Our faculty and scholars have presented papers and delivered lectures at international forums including Malaysia and Mauritius, and contributed richly to World Tamil Summits, Endowment Lectures, and acclaimed publications.

      « நீ இன்று செய்யும் சின்ன சின்ன முயற்சிகள் நாளை வெற்றியின் ஆணிவேர்களாக மாறும். »
      “The small efforts you make today are the root nails of tomorrow’s success.”

      திருக்குறள் – குறள் 391 – கல்வி
      “யாதனின் யாதனின் யாதனின் நேமியார்
      கேடின்றி வாழ்வது கல்வி.”
      “True education alone enables one to live without destruction, whatever befall.”

      Our Vision Moving Forward

      Our competent faculty, committed scholars, zealous students, and dedicated staff strive to expand the horizons of Tamil learning and cultural pride. With Bharathiyar’s ideals and our University’s motto in our hearts:

      “Vers la lumière – ஒளி பரவ” – Let the light spread,

      we move ahead with clarity, confidence, and commitment.

      We invite you to be part of this radiant journey, where scholarship meets service, tradition meets innovation, and Tamil finds new expressions every day.
