3. Commending Dravidian Model Government

The Dravidian Model Government of Tamil Nadu headed by Hon’ble Chief Minister Thiru.M.K. Stalin has completed four glorious years of governance with multitude of historic achievements. It is RESOLVED to place on record our appreciation to Thiru.M.K.Stalin, the ‘Hero of Historic Social Justice’ (சமூகநீதியின் சரித்திர நாயகன்) custodian of Social Justice. The Apex Executive Committee wishes him much more name and fame.

4. Educational Innovations

Superstitions must be annihilated by collective efforts through revised curriculum in schools and colleges. Top priority should be given only to Scientific Approach and Social Justice. Hon’ble Chief Minister Thiru.M.K.Stalin has already assured adherence to Article 51A(h) of the Constitution and introduce Science based curriculum for students. It is RESOLVED to urge upon the Government of Tamil Nadu to implement such an educational innovation in all the schools and colleges in the State. Students should develop scientific temper and questioning spirit, discarding all blind beliefs. The curriculum is to be revamped suitably.

5. Caste Census

The Union Government headed by Prime Minister Modi has announced that caste census would be conducted but it has not specified when the exercise would commence. There should not be inordinate delay in implementing caste census like the delay in ratifying 33 per cent Reservation for women in the Parliament. Hence it is RESOLVED to urge the Union Government to inform the date of commencement, the particulars expected for enumeration and all relevant details related to the census. The Apex Executive Committee also resolves to urge on the Union Government to conduct a fair and honest enumeration in a transparent manner.

6. Harmful New Education Policy

We have been protesting against the unjust New Education Policy (NEP). Another hurdle for students has cropped up now by the announcement that CBSE students of Class 5 and 8 would not be promoted to next classes.  Unless they pass their public exams. The number of dropouts would increase by this harmful move. We have already been highlighting the ill-effects of the Viswakarma Yojana. This is now another obstacle for the education of our students. It is RESOLVED to raise voice of protest against this unjust move. All the like-minded people and parents are also urged upon to oppose the detrimental decisions of the Union Government.

3. Commending Operation Sindoor

Following the Pahalgam tragedy, the retaliation by our Indian Army through Operation Sindoor was commendable. Normalcy has returned at last. It is RESOLVED to urge on all the social welfare outfits, forums and movements to take a pledge and annihilate terrorism. The country should be a haven of peace by the joint efforts of us all. The Apex Executive Committee urges upon all the people to nourish universal brotherhood and strive for communal harmony.

9. Appointment of Judges

Social unjustice prevails in the appointment of judges, especially in the Chennai High Court. Among 60 judges more than 10 are brahmins. This is an unjust domination. More number of brahmin judges are being shortlisted for appointments. Even in the collegium two among the three judges are brahmins. This is against the noble principle of social justice. It is RESOLVED to urge upon the Chennai High Court to appoint non brahmin judges and depict social justice. Appointments for this highly coveted position must be unbiased and impartial. Social justice is essential even in judiciary. The Apex Executive Committee insists on it.

10. ‘Periyar World’ construction

At Siruganur near Trichy ‘PERIYAR WORLD’ is being constructed like one more wonder of the world. The Apex Committee commends the efforts of the General Secretary Thiru.V.Anburaj. The service of all others involved in this historic project is praiseworthy. It is RESOLVED to urge upon all the well-wishers to donate generously and extend support. The Apex Executive Committee assures vigorous co-operation for the completion of this gigantic construction.
