Health Minister Ma. Subramanian on Tuesday challenged AIADMK legislator N. Thalavai Sundaram in the Assembly for a debate on the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). Mr. Subramanian’s challenge followed contentions by Mr. Sundaram (Kanniyakumari) that the AIADMK government was not responsible for allowing NEET into the State. Mr. Sundaram said the DMK government often said NEET was allowed into Tamil Nadu not during the Chief Ministership of late DMK leader M. Karunanidhi or late AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa, but when former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami was heading the government. He said this was not true.A crowd comprising farmers, researchers, professors, students, and horticulture enthusiasts thronged the ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru, on Friday for the inaugural ceremony of the Triphal Diversity Show which showcased 300 mango, 100 jackfruit, and 100 banana genotypes in collaboration with ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana, Tiruchirappalli.
