velu Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Quote ‘Move Devendrakula Vellalars from SC to MBC list’ The State Government should take steps to move the Devendrakula Vellalars from the Scheduled Caste category to the Most Backward Classes list, Puthiya Tamilagam leader K. Krishnasamy said here on Sunday. Addressing reporters at a press meet, he said that if the State Government was to recommend and the Central Government was to do so, it would be a solution to the caste-related problems in southern districts of the State and also help them get better opportunities. Devendrakula Vellalars traditionally formed the most backward sections of the society, but it was the Britishers who erroneously categorised them under the Scheduled Caste. This had resulted in the community members stagnating socially, economically and politically. To press for the demand, the party would hold a conference in Chennai on October 6. The State Government should well in advance train students for NEET. On its part, the party would run four free coaching centres across the State, he added. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/move-devendrakula-vellalars-from-sc-to-mbc-list/article19706728.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
