PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss has urged the Tamil Nadu government to conduct a caste survey immediately, asserting that there are no logistical or legal difficulties in carrying out such an exercise. He emphasized that the state must recognize the importance of this survey for social justice and policy planning.
No Hurdles for Caste Survey
Speaking to the media, Anbumani stated that the government has all the necessary resources and legal backing to conduct a comprehensive caste survey. He dismissed any claims of obstacles, saying that other states have successfully conducted similar surveys. The PMK leader argued that the data from such a survey is crucial for understanding the socio-economic conditions of various communities and for formulating targeted welfare schemes.
Demand for Immediate Action
Anbumani called on the state government to act without delay, noting that the survey would help in addressing inequalities and ensuring equitable distribution of resources. He also pointed out that the demand for a caste survey has been raised by multiple political parties and social organizations in Tamil Nadu.
The PMK leader’s remarks come amid ongoing debates about caste-based reservations and the need for updated data. He stressed that the survey should cover all communities, including OBCs, SCs, STs, and others, to provide a clear picture of the state's demographics.
