Anbumani Ramadoss Calls for Tamil Nadu Caste Survey to Support Reservation PolicyPrevious
Next

PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss advocates for a caste-based survey in Tamil Nadu to protect the state's 69% reservation policy for OBCs, SCs, and STs. He emphasizes the need for updated social and economic data to address inequalities within communities and improve welfare schemes. Ramadoss urges the state government to include the survey plan in the Governor's address, citing legal challenges and the Supreme Court's 2010 directive to review reservation limits based on census data.
