L. Jawahar Nesan, who recently resigned as member of the high-level committee formed to draft the State Education Policy, has refuted the observations made against him by committee chairman Justice D. Murugesan (retired).
In a statement, denying Mr. Nesan’s allegations about the functioning of the committee, Justice Murugesan had blamed the former member for delaying his work. He said Mr. Nesan was not a “convener” of the high-level committee, as he had claimed, and he was only the “convener” of the sub-committees formed under him.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Mr. Nesan said the high-level committee had decided to form sub-committees for various topics in June 2022 itself. As the chairman did not expedite the process, the high-level committee resolved to form the sub-committees only in December 2022 after persistent efforts by him, Mr. Nesan alleged. He said he was made the convener of the high-level committee for coordinating the deliberations of the sub-committees.
