Chennai, Sep 7 An ordinance has been promulgated
to provide preference in appointment in Tamil
Nadu government services to persons who have
obtained educational qualification ''prescribed
for direct recruitment through Tamil medium of
instruction.'' The Tamil Nadu Appointment on
preferential basis in the services under the
state of persons studied in Tamil medium
ordinance 2010 shall come into force at once, a

the state government, relates to providing
appointment in state government services to
persons who studied in Tamil medium.

Those who have studied in Tamil medium have very
little chance of getting selected for Central
government jobs, other state governments or in
private sector and so preference need to be
given to them in state government services, it
said. After considering the resolution, the
government has decided to bring in a legislation
to set apart 20 per cent of vacancies in
appointment in state services to be filled
through direct recruitment of those who studied
in Tamil medium. The ordinance, promulgated by
Governor Surjit Singh Barnala on September 5,
seeks to give effect to the decision, the
notification said.
