Anbil – Ancestral Village

[edit]

Anbil is a historically and culturally rich village located approximately 30 kilometres from Tiruchirappalli, along the Tiruchirappalli–Kumbakonam highway and 8 kilometres from Lalgudi. Positioned on the northern banks of the Kollidam River, the village thrives due to its fertile water basin, which supports extensive agriculture. The region is known for cultivating paddy, sugarcane, and banana plantations, making it one of the agriculturally abundant pockets in the Cauvery delta.

Anbil holds spiritual significance with its dual religious heritage — the village is home to the Anbil Alanthurai Temple, a prominent Saivite shrine praised in the Thevaram hymns of Thirugnanasambandar, and the Anbil Sri Sundararaja Perumal Temple, a revered Vaishnavite temple recognised as one of the 108 Divya Desams[8]. This harmonious coexistence of faiths, alongside its agrarian prosperity, makes Anbil a symbol of Tamil Nadu's cultural and historical continuity.[9]

During the centenary celebrations of M. Karunanidhi (Kalaignar), he oversaw more than 100 commemorative events across the district, for which he received personal commendation from the DMK President.

In accordance with party leadership directives, he facilitated the installation of life-sized statues of Kalaignar in each of the three assembly constituencies within the district—Tiruchirappalli East,[17] Thiruverumbur,[18] and Manapparai.[19]

Vaanavil Mandram

[edit]

Vaanavil Mandram is an initiative launched by the Tamil Nadu government to foster scientific interest among students in classes VI to VIII. The program emphasizes activity-based learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, moving away from rote memorization. To facilitate this, 100 mobile science and mathematics laboratories have been introduced, serving over 13,200 schools and benefiting approximately 2 million students statewide.[35][36]

234/77

[edit]

As part of his field-based governance approach, Tamil Nadu School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi personally visited schools across the state for direct inspections — a hallmark of his hands-on leadership style.[37]

One of the department's significant initiatives is the 234/77 School Review Exercise. Under this effort, the Minister conducted inspections in government and government-aided schools across all 234 legislative constituencies, evaluating them based on 77 parameters. This large-scale review commenced on 10 October 2022 and concluded on 27 November 2024.[38]

At the 7th Zonal Parent-Teacher Association Conference held grandly in Vriddhachalam, themed "Let Us Celebrate Parents", the Minister presented his detailed school review report to the Chief Minister via a digital application titled "Orumaikkan" (translated as "With One Vision").[39]

Global Exposure

[edit]

For the eighth consecutive year, students who excelled in competitions such as film review, debate, quiz, speech, and art were offered international educational exposure through visits to countries including Singapore,[40] South Korea, Japan, France, Malaysia,[41] and the United Arab Emirates. Under the Kanavu Asiriyar (Dream Teachers) initiative,[42] selected government school teachers were also provided similar overseas learning opportunities.[43] In addition, the Tamil Nadu government has supported government school students in participating in international conclaves and seminars in countries such as Russia.[44]

Microsoft partnership

[edit]

Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Microsoft at the company's headquarters, introducing the Technical Education and Learning Support (TEALS) programme in Tamil Nadu. The initiative aims to enhance digital learning and promote skill development among students. This MoU marked the first of its kind to be signed by any state in India.[45][46]

Student Support Helpline 14417

[edit]

A 24/7 toll-free helpline 14417[47] was established to address grievances and provide career guidance for students of government and government-aided schools. The helpline offers support on various issues, including information on government schemes, scholarship-related queries, harassment complaints, and guidance during examination periods. [48]

Constituency-Level Education Infrastructure Strategic Briefing

[edit]

Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi sent detailed correspondence to all 234 Members of the Legislative Assembly in Tamil Nadu, providing comprehensive data about school infrastructure development in their respective constituencies.[49] These personalized letters contained specific statistics on completed school buildings during Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's four-year administration, those under construction, and planned future building projects. This communication initiative ensured each elected representative had precise information about educational infrastructure improvements in their districts.

Additionally, Minister Poyyamozhi personally met with Chief Minister M.K. Stalin at the Secretariat headquarters to present a specialized report focusing on educational developments in the Chief Minister's own Kolathur constituency. During this official meeting, he provided a detailed assessment of the School Education Department's accomplishments, ongoing projects, and future plans specifically for schools within Kolathur, demonstrating the government's commitment to educational improvement across all constituencies.

Opposition to New Education Policy 2020

[edit]

Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi has been a strong critic of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 introduced by the Central Government of India. As Tamil Nadu's Minister for School Education, he has consistently argued that the state's educational system outperforms national averages across key performance indicators.[50] [51]

Anbil Mahesh has maintained that many benchmarks proposed in the NEP had already been achieved in Tamil Nadu through state-led initiatives years before the national policy's ideation.[52] His public statements have emphasized that imposing the NEP on Tamil Nadu would be counterproductive given the state's established educational success.[53]

A significant aspect of his opposition focuses on language policy, with Anbil Mahesh asserting that Tamil Nadu's two-language policy must continue instead of adopting the Central Government's three-language policy, which he has emphasized as an attempt at Hindi imposition.[54]His opposition centers on advocating for regional autonomy in education policy, arguing that Tamil Nadu's education model has proven its effectiveness and should be allowed to operate independently of centralized policy frameworks.[55][56]

Beyond opposing the NEP, Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi is determined to transfer education to the State List, emphasizing that states should have full control over their educational policies. He has publicly stated, "Education should be transferred to the state list. We take care of our children and faculty. We decide what kind of intellectual training to give our students."[57] He believes this shift will grant Tamil Nadu and other states greater autonomy, reducing central intervention and reinforcing federalism. This remains a key focus of his political career as he actively advocates for increased state control over education.[58]

Recognition

[edit]

During the Diamond Jubilee National Jamboree and the Kalaignar Centenary Special Jamboree held at Manapparai, Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi was conferred the Silver Elephant Award[59], the highest honour in Indian scouting. He became the 22nd recipient to receive this distinction, which recognises exceptional service to the Scout and Guide movement, particularly for his contributions towards youth development and education.

The Jamboree also saw Tamil Nadu achieve five Elite World Records, marking a historic moment for the state in the field of scouting: Most participants in a Scouts and Guides prayer, a reef knot-tying lesson, taking the Scouts and Guides promise, performing the Scouts and Guides salute and left-hand handshake.

On February 22, 2025, at the Tamil Nadu State Parent-Teacher Association Conference in Virudhachalam, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin characterized Anbil Mahesh's tenure as School Education Minister as a ‘golden period’ for the state's educational sector.[60]

Fitness Philosophy and Daily Practices

[edit]

Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi maintains a disciplined approach to physical fitness alongside his political responsibilities. He adheres to a daily regimen that includes one hour of morning exercise, incorporating traditional Tamil martial art Silambam and jogging. Poyyamozhi is an active sportsperson who regularly participates in various sports including badminton, cricket, shuttle, and basketball.

During occasional leisure time, Poyyamozhi plays shuttle badminton with his close friend Udhayanidhi Stalin.[61] He has expressed that physical activity helps him manage stress and maintain the energy required for his multiple roles in public service.

In interviews, Poyyamozhi has emphasized the connection between physical and mental wellbeing, stating, "Health is very important. When you wake up in the morning and exercise, you feel energized throughout the day." He further elaborated that he considers sports fields to be spaces for stress management and that yoga helps him maintain mental clarity.[62]
