The Department of Tamil at JR Arts and Science College, Tindivanam, under the aegis of Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research (Deemed-to-be University), is dedicated to the celebration, preservation, and promotion of the Tamil language and its rich literary heritage. As one of the most ancient and classical languages in the world, Tamil holds a unique place in the global linguistic and cultural landscape.

The B.A. Tamil program is structured to offer an in-depth understanding of classical literature, modern prose and poetry, grammar, linguistics, and translation studies. The curriculum combines traditional Tamil literary works like Sangam poetry, Thevaram, Thirukkural, and Silappathikaram, with contemporary writings, allowing students to appreciate the evolution of Tamil language and thought. We also emphasize comparative literature, creative writing, and the application of Tamil in media, journalism, and information technology.
Our experienced faculty are scholars, poets, and researchers who provide personalized academic mentoring and inspire critical thinking and linguistic creativity. Students are encouraged to participate in national seminars, literary debates, cultural festivals, and intercollegiate competitions, enhancing their public speaking, writing, and leadership skills.
The department is equipped with a dedicated language lab, digital resources, and a specialized library collection to support advanced learning and research. We also maintain active collaborations with Tamil literary organizations and academic bodies, offering students valuable exposure and networking opportunities.
