FINAL REPORT TO THE CENTRAL INSTITUTE OF CLASSICAL TAMIL for mt Research Project 2012-2013 Ref: Sanction Order : F.No.11-264/CICT/2012-2013 /Research Project -43 Titled Translation of Sangam Classics in other languages

Suggestion 4

I have submitted to the Central Institute of Classical Tamil digitized versions of Sangam Classics by Gnanou Diagou, and the fore ward to the French translation by Sir C.P.Ramasamy Iyer states :  Mr.Gnanou Diagou’s rendering of Thiruvalluvar’s Koural into French is important and significant to international cultural collaboration” I have given the book both editions and also digitized versions along with my report. The Central Institute of Classical Tamil must publish in book form as well as e-book form in CD and upload in online open access archives to be created by CICT. Not only Thirukkural, but Ganou Diagou had translated Naladiyar, Nanmanikkadigai, Assarak Kovai,Tirikadugam, all Sangam classics into French. CICT can bring out all e-books in one CD and send to Universities which teaches French in France and all of French colonies of yester-years
