The fourth edition of the cultural and educational exchange programme Kashi Tamil Sangamam will be held from December 2, the Ministry of Education announced on Saturday (November 22, 2025).

This year's major highlights include the Valedictory Function at Rameswaram, marking the grand culmination of the event, and the launch of a new initiative — Tamil Karpom — enabling students from North India to learn Tamil in Tamil Nadu.

"Kashi Tamil Sangamam 4.0 will be organised around the theme 'Learn Tamil – Tamil Karkalam', with the aim to promote Tamil learning across India and foster wider appreciation for India's classical linguistic and literary heritage.

"In this edition of Kashi Tamil Sangamam, more than 1,400 delegates from Tamil Nadu will participate under seven categories," a senior Education Ministry official said.

Delegates will undertake an eight-day experiential tour, including visits to Varanasi, Prayagraj and Ayodhya, along with interactions, seminars, cultural performances and exposure to local cuisine, handicrafts and heritage, the official added.
