Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi's comment on Thursday about the low standard of education in state-run schools being below the national average drew significant criticism from the state government.

Responding promptly, State Youth Welfare and Sports Development Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin highlighted the accomplishments of Tamil Nadu's education system, with notable mentions of ISRO scientists P Veeramuthuvel and former director Mylswamy Annadurai as examples of the state's educational success.

Without directly naming the Governor, Udhayanidhi emphasized the strength of the state's education in fostering independent thinking and criticized the Governor's remarks as a false narrative meant to undermine the system.
