• Having successfully translated ‘Tholkappia Poonga,’ authored by Mr. Karunanidhi, into English, the university has got the clearance to translate all his literary works into English.

• The English version will be sent to Huaihua University for translation into Chinese language, he said.

• The Department of Linguistics of Bharathiar University has translated all poetic works of Subramania Bharathi into English, he said. An exclusive division handled the publication of all translated works.
