The Tamil Literary Union (TLU) consists of Tamil students and staff of college. TLU was established in the year 1919 when a meeting was held with Mr. A.M.K. Coomaraswamy (staff member) in the chair with 49 students and 10 teachers. The Union was formed in the idyllic era of Trinity, under the auspices of Principal Rev. A. G. Fraser. It was first called the Trinity College Tamil Literary Union or ‘Thamil Kalvi Abiviruthi Sangam’ and as times evolved, adopted the name Tamil Literary Union.
Thanks to the dedicated teachers and efficient committee, the event was an overall success. Their hard work and dedication resulted in a memorable occasion that will be cherished for years to come. The event served as a great platform to acknowledge the boys’ efforts and motivate them to strive for even greater achievements.
