Cuddalore district accounts for most number of schools where students practise caste discrimination in Tamil Nadu, according to a survey conducted by the Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front (TNUEF).
The survey, ‘Caste Discrimination in Schools’, found that students at schools in nearly 13 districts nurtured caste pride and indulged in caste-based talk. The TNUEF also suggested solutions and submitted them to the Chief Minister. The second on the list is Madurai, as the rural parts of the district practised caste discrimination at schools.
