NewsPress releases

The Tamil Language Learning and Promotion Committee (TLLPC) marks its 20th anniversary this year. Over the past two decades, TLLPC has been dedicated to promoting the Tamil language, fostering cultural literacy, and engaging schools and the community. To commemorate this milestone and reflect its enhanced role of promoting Tamil language learning through greater digital engagement and youth and family involvement, TLLPC will be rebranded as the "Tamil Promotion Committee" (TPC), accompanied by a new logo.

2. Chairman of TLLPC and Minister of State in the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth and the Ministry of Manpower, Mr Dinesh Vasu Dash, unveiled the refreshed name and logo at the launch of this year's Tamil Language Festival1 on 29 March 2026, at MediaCorp Campus.

Two Decades of Tamil Language Learning and Promotion

3. Since its establishment by the Ministry of Education in 2006, TLLPC has actively promoted the Tamil language by partnering schools, community organisations and cultural partners. Over the years, its programmes have inspired a love for the Tamil language among students through literature, performing arts, and community-based activities, fostering the active use of the language in everyday interactions, and an appreciation of Tamil heritage and culture.

Looking Ahead as Tamil Promotion Committee

4. Looking ahead, TPC will elevate the Tamil language's relatability and digital prominence by engaging youth to be advocates and content creators, while empowering parents to cultivate their children's love for Tamil language from an early age. The rebranding reinforces the Committee's commitment to engaging youth, parents, educators and the wider community through meaningful programmes that showcase Tamil's cultural richness and contemporary relevance in Singapore.

5. Mr Dinesh said, "TPC reflects the community's aspiration of bringing Tamil to all segments of society. We plan to pay particular attention to our youth, and to do so in an engaging manner through digital platforms, AI and innovative initiatives." See Annex for details of TPC's new logo.
