THANJAVUR: Youth have not lost interest in our music and dance. Given a chance they will prove their talents and how deep they are involved in our art and culture, said Union Minister of State for Finance S.S. Palani Manickam here on Wednesday. Speaking at the state-level prize distribution function to students who won in the competitions conducted by School Education Department to bring out individual talents among them, Mr. Palani Manickam said that there is a misconception among people that the present day youth are not interested in our art forms.

Abdul Kalam’s full potential was known only when he became the President. He kindled the spirit of youth of India. The Minister thanked the Minister for School Education, Thangam Thennarasu for selecting Thanjavur for conducting the individual talent competitions for school students. The District Collector, C. Vijyararaj Kumar, said that it does not matter how many marks the students scored in examinations. The point is whether they succeeded in life or not. He said that 950 students from all over the State participated in the competitions. The Minister distributed the prizes to the students. The Chief Educational Officer, A. S. Radhakrishnan, the Chairperson, District Panchayat, Selvi Sivagnanam participated in the meeting.
