Ganapathy, a member of the assembly, raised a demand for the establishment of an engineering college in Kanyakumari to address the educational needs of the region. He emphasized the importance of providing higher education opportunities in Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli districts.[2] நான் கேட்கிறேன் , கன்னியாகுமரியில் ஒரு என்ஜினியரிங் காலேஜ் திறக்கக்கூடாதா ₹? திருநெல்வேலி, கன்னியாகுமாரி ஜில்லாக்கள் இரண்டிற்கும் சமீபத்தில் அது இருக்கும். ஆகவே, இந்த இரண்டு ஜில்லாக்களுக்கும் சமீபத்தில் ஒரு. என்ஜினீயரிங் கல்லூரி அமைத்துத்தருமாறு நான் சர்க்காரைக் கேட்டுக்கொள்கறேன். கன்னியாகுமரி ஜில்லா மிகவும் முக்கியமானதொன்றாகும் . அது மாத்திரமல்ல, காந்தி மண்டபம் அங்கு தான் கட்டப்பட்டிருகீகறது. கன்னியாகுமரி இந்தியாவுக்கே பொதுவான இடம் . அந்த முறையில் , அங்கே பலவிதமான விதத்திலும் இந்தி.பாவின் சிறந்த பகுதிகளில் ஒன்றாகும் கன்னியா குமரி. ஆகவே, அங்கு ஒரு என்ஜினிபரிங் காலேஜ் ஏற்படுமானால் அது மிகவும் நன்றாக விருக்குமென்று சொல்லிக் கொள்ளுறேன்?
