Tamil culture and civilization has a long history. The world is
watching every move of the Tamilians. It was the Tamils who mastered all sixty four arts
and introduced them to the world. Tamils’ civilization, culture and customs have a
bearing in science. It is also revealed that there are still numerous villages where the
traditions of Tamils have not changed as of today. They are still attached to their
traditional food, clothing, shelter and household.
We have established museum of Tamil traditional products by collecting
related products to improve the knowledge of the students who are studying Tamil and
learn about our traditional products and their use. These include pottery, furniture,
straw products, bamboo products, paper toys, wire products, iron, brass, copper,
earthenware, and straw prints. This is in order to educate students about identifying
and preserving our heritage items.

Tamilchaaral is an association established for students

unique talents of the students. The competitions include Poetry, Essay, Song, Solo Acting, Speech,
Poetry, Lecture, Competition, Dance and Drama -(Nuovusuyu Oulu – Urususuyuuruduyusu

competitions conducted at district level and state level.
Tamils excel in all fields- architecture, painting, sculpture,
poetry, literature, drama and astrology. Their contribution to medicinal field is
remarkable. There is cure for every human disease in the traditional medicine. A
detailed description can be found about the name of the disease, its nature,
symptoms of the disease, methods of curing the disease and medicines. The Tamils
have identified the names of medicinal products and herbs etc. and have prepared
them properly and cured even the incurable diseases. They have taught the methods
and exercises for living without disease. In this way, the basic elements of living
without disease have been thoroughly studied. Students studying Tamil should learn
about Tamil herbs and identify their medicinal uses. Each student is given an
assignment of identifying one medical herb and its medicinal values. The yearly
herbal exhibition gives good exposure to students in medicinal herbs.
