TAMIL schools have been urged to set up libraries stocked with books on culture, religion and literature to generate the interest among the young to learn about their own mother tongue, reported Makkal Osai.
Schools should also instil the importance of reading habits among the school children.
Panasonic Indian Employees coordinator S. Yathirajan made this call when launching the company's annual cultural show.
He said funds raised from the shows had been used to set up air-conditioned libraries in some Tamil schools in Selangor.
He said that since 2003, air-conditioned libraries had been set up at Hicom Tamil School, Glen Marie Tamil School, Emerald Tamil School, Midlands Tamil School and Highland Tamil School.
He said that funds collected for this year would be channelled to Sungai Renggam Tamil School.
He said that parents realised the role played by Tamil schools which have seen an increase in enrolment.
