Annadurai, passed several key acts including the renaming of the state to Tamil Nadu and the abolition of the three-language formula in the state which had previously required Hindi to be taught in schools.Table of ContentsOverview[edit]Significant achievements[edit]Annadurai’s Cabinet[edit]Karunanidhi’s cabinet[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Overview[edit]The assembly was elected in the general election of February 1967 and consisted of 234 members including 42 members representing scheduled castes, two members representing scheduled tribes and one nominated member.[1]  In that election, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, under the leadership of C.N. Annadurai, won a majority. Annadurai was elected Chief minister as a member of the Legislative Council, the State’s upper house.[2][3] On 18 July 1967, the assembly unanimously adopted a resolution to change the name of Madras State to Tamil Nadu.[1][4] This was achieved through the Madras State (Alteration of Name) Act, 1968 (Central Act 53 of 1968) which was passed by the Parliament of India and came into force on 14 January 1969, with the assembly being renamed the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.[4] After the death of C. N. Annadurai in office, M. Karunanidhi became Chief Minister in 1969.[5]This assembly marked the most dramatic change in Madras State politics with the first state-government by the DMK party.[6]  Since this assembly the previously dominant Indian National Congress has never returned to power in the state.[6]Significant achievements[edit]During the tenure of C. N. Annadurai the assembly passed several key acts.  Self-respect marriages, those not requiring the presence of a priest, were legalized through the Hindu Marriage (Madras Amendment) Act, 1967 which was introduced and passed during this assembly.[7]  In addition the three-language formula was scrapped and replaced by a “two-language” former in which “Hindi was eliminated from the curriculum, only English and Tamil were to be taught”.[8]  Other measures included the sale of rice at a fixed price in the suburbs of Chennai and the sponsoring of research into the Tamil poem Tirukku\u1e5ba\u1e37 at Madras State universities.[3]Annadurai’s Cabinet[edit]The council of ministers in C.
